Probably.  Oftentimes you cannot copy one of the objects because it has
been corrupted, but if you can copy them all and successfully do a
compact stack, then you probably (99 44/100%) have a clean stack.

Sorry that I cannot be more exact, but software projects as big as
HyperCard still have many unknowns in them.
