I'm sorry to hear that...........I feel bad for encouraging you. I sincerely apologize and in the future I will keep my big mouth closed. Obviously, the glue used must not have been water based. I'm not really sure why the cards you soaked suffered extreme back damage? From my experience, the soaking should either work or not. By chance, did you try to pull the cards off the scrapbook after soaking, that would be the wrong way to do it.
Secondly, I stand corrected. As mentioned, not all prewar cards can be soaked. I was way out of line with that statement. "Most" prewar can be soaked, but NOT "all". Soaking cards made of real photographs will cause separation from the backing. So never soak Old Judges, T200's, nor any other similar photo card.
Lovely Day...
