Josh K.How often as collectors do you do this? I have not soaked t206s but have soaked e121s to remove paper/glue on several occasions.
Are there any types of cards that you would or wouldnt do this to? I dont have enough experience to answer.
If soaking gives cards a better grade or just a better look, would you stay away from these cards if you knew they were cleaned-up? I would stay away from a card that was pressed to remove wrinkles or that was stretched and trimmed.
In general, is this frowned upon by the collecting community? I think it would be frowned on to sell a pressed card without disclosure (though its probably done more often that realized). I think soaking to remove glue/paper (s/t that shouldnt be on the card to begin with) is generally accepted.
