Default Does it matter

i don't soak...my position has always been i don't care if others do it, it's not the worst thing to do to a card. if you're honest just lmk when you sell me the card so i can make a choice to buy or not.
Honestly I don't think it matters. T222's are tough especially when compared to other cards from the era. This is Lapp which seems to be one of the most common cards in the set. Still worth perserving IMO.

The card is not ripped in half and if there is a rip at all it is about an inch long.
