Default About soaking cards

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

A card doctor... if my T206 is sickly, with paste and black scrapbook remains on its back, out of the way, I'll heal that sickly card.

It isn't a question of right and wrong, even if you keep repeating that mantra.

It might be a question of degree... That paste and scrap isn't part of the card, nothing wrong with removing it.


And to take some position that none of your cards have ever been soaked, maybe true if you have no cards, or only Upper Deck cards. If you have a T206 card, it may well have been soaked in the 20s, or 30s or 40s... or the 90s, or even this century... and maybe more than once. Orignial finds my hind end... maybe if you pulled it from a Piedmont pack, maybe then it has never been soaked.


I seem to recall that this is a thread about soaking. When I posted in those other threads folks were quick to suggest that I not read them or post in them if I didn't agree with them. I'm not suggesting you guys consider that. To the contrary, I want you to read, and learn where the line should be.
