Do not soak Topps cards. They do not recover.
IF it were mine I would do this exactly. Mat out the edges, deacidify it and have it have some kind of preservation type material that it is matted to. I did the same thing with my large Horner Composite Photo. It also went from Graphic Conservation to me to a very, very good local company to do the framing and matting. Great looking piece...
