First, what is it??? It looks like a 1939 Playball, but I don't recognize the player nor the card.

Whatever it is, buy from somewhere the least expensive most chewed up card of that set that you can find... take a picture of it, then soak that beater. Take documentation pics as you go along. See how it survives the soaking before you mess with this card. If the trial card soaks and then dries ok, then give it a try on the real card. If the trial card swells up, distorts, separates, and other kinds of powerfully mean nasty ugly stuff, then share that with us. That's why we need those step by step pics.

I don't recall soaking a 1939 Playball. My guess is they'll soak. But I myself would try on a beater first just t make sure.

What is that card?

1939 Playball #48 Lefty Gomez.
