Hi Brian,
The crude cuts, though interesting, were on Steve's card before he soaked it. Not sure why he soaked it, but he had a really interesting group of E98s from the doctor in Boston.
I've had blue and green E98s that look like they're missing the pink in the faces. I believe it's from soaking. I have soaked M116s leaving them with the same exact "whited out" look.
As for dirt, a card can get dirty after being soaked.
I respect your opinion and don't feel too strongly either way. Was just looking at what I thought was the most likely scenario.
Hope you're well.
Rob
