Default To Soak or Not to Soak

These three cool cards arrived yesterday. They may need a bath. What say the judges?

Maybe if you want to keep Mr. Leifield the way he is because the card obviously has a Piedmont back. Just a thought.

Default I won one of those

I won one of those cards as well... it's not soaking well. Whatever adhesive was used does not appear to be water soluble. May just take some time. Have done two soaks... will give it another shot.

Well, I guess there was never a question. I will soak'em. I have had good luck recently. Hopefully, an extended dip will do the trick. Even if the scrap doesn't come off, I should at least be able to see what the two mystery backs are

For those interested in soaking in general, here is a link to my favorite thread on soaking. It's very informative.

Obvious back improvement. Could probably use another dunk. How long did you soak it the first time around?

About 4 hours - How long should I soak T206 cards?

I suppose that depends on how dirty it is. Some go for a few hours like you did in this case. Others go for 12+ hours. I don't soak very often, but I usually let it soak overnight. If it still has glue or dirt, I change the water and start over again.
