You should not have any problems with the cards you have. However, the advice that ALL prewar cards are fine to soak is not true. Nielsons Chocolate cards ink is water soluable and they will fade if you soak them. Also almost all the black and white postcard issues of the 1910 era like HM Taylor and Dietche will be severely damaged with water. There are other issues as well that will be damaged if you soak them. Clement Brothers bread cards with completely wash away if soaked for another example.
You should be fine with yours, but black and white cards can be VERY tricky.
