I've soaked tobacco and caramel cards successfully, but I've never soaked one with the glossy coating like these have. The seller said that he "steamed" one off, and it received a 3 from PSA, but I don't put much stock in the grading. What say the experts? Will the coating come off as part of the soaking?

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

I actually won two of the V61 lots from the same auction (Grover Alexander & Max Carey). I'm also currently in the process of soaking both lots. The tricky thing about the cards I won is that there are two cards stuck back to back with the scrap book page between them. It seems that the page ends up favoring one of the two cards, and so far, my pages have been favoring the HOF cards (good taste). Good luck!

Jeff
