The original post dealt with E93s and E95s and I believe they can be soaked without problems, although I never have done it myself. The E94s and E98s, as stated, are a whole different kettle of fish. I have purchased a few of these caramel cards in apparent vgex or ex condition which have "exploded" upon removal from the the holders. The top and right hand top corners of the E98s, for some reason, appear most susceptible to devastating paper loss, and thus gnashing of teeth. I always felt that the cards must have been soaked or fooled around with as the damage is unlike any other I have ever seen in any caramel cards.
