This was suggested to him by Frank Nagy, a very prominent collector of the time (as Reuss was). Reuss notes that he was skeptical at first, but that the soaking worked well for him. He notes at the end that while the colors didn't run on the T205s and T206s he soaked, "I wouldn't bet the same would hold true for all cards I know of", thus anticipating the Net54 threads about which cards are OK to soak.

40 hard core collectors and "Some $1500 exchanged hands." Amazing!!
