What Am I Just Not Getting?
Now seems appropriate for one of my timely rants...
When did 1967 Topps get to be the greatest thing in baseball cards, the poster boy set for Topps? I thought that was 1952. Case in point: this. I don't know about you all, and we've certainly had fun discussions about soaking, but my experience is split between success and failure. I have had 100 percent success soaking pre-war, and 100 percent failure soaking post-war cards:

I don't like this for several reasons. First, what can be done with these other than soak? And if they don't soak off, they're ruined, in my humble opinion. Second, and not to cause trouble, lots of folks have discussed this particular seller. But all nice cards, glued firmly in, or so it would seem. So why the feeding frenzy over these? Just due to Mantle and Clemente and the gamble they will soak off?
Oh well. Just is what it is, I guess.
