There are only a few sets for which this is not true, and for most of those you could debate if they even count as "baseball cards" to begin with.

From my observations on this board, I would estimate that about 80% of the time I read someone claiming that a certain card won't soak well, they're wrong and are simply repeating something they think they heard from someone else and have no experience actually doing it themselves.
