Talk about reading into a post, you are way off base Frank. I have no objection at all to soaking in water, my only concern was that someone completely inexperienced might not want to start with a CJ Hall of Fame card. I pesonally have not soaked a CJ, I've done some nonsports with mixed results. My post was solely motivated by concern that the OP with no experience not make his card worse, not any so-called bias. But as long as you are dispensing good advice, perhaps you can advise Jeff of good practice so the card dries properly and doesn't warp? I've seen CJ's soaked by others that ended up looking like the waves at Waikiki.
