1914 Coupon Soaking
Let me preface this post with this: I am not soaking this card to grade or for monetary gain. I bought a t213 coupon that is glued to cardboard. It is currently in an authentic holder and I will be cracking for my binder. Can these coupons handle a soak to remove old glue and cardboard like the t206’s can? I’d love to get the cardboard off and put it in my binder. Any help is appreciated.

It certainly will soak.
Initially, watch what you're doing. There might be water soluble ink or paint somewhere on the wood (we have no description of the wood from you); the ink would show up in the water... if that is happening, set the would piece in a large water pan or whatever you're using, and tilt that. Have constantly running water if you can manage that, so the ink in the water is constantly washing away. [This paragraph ONLY APPLIES if there's ink or paint on that board, bleeding into the soaking water. Don't let this paragraph scare you.] Soak it for a while... maybe even a couple of days. Change the water a few times. Try not to tear the card as your impatient self tries to peel it off of the wood. Soak longer, be patient. I'm curious... is the card attached to a small piece of wood, bottom half of the card stuck to the wood? I once bought a T213 like that, the card was glued to the wood with a non-water soluble glue... I had no success soaking it off, but I also didn't damage the card more than it already was.

No wood. Just old cardboard that it’s glued to but it is completely glued. The entire back is covered by cardboard

1914 Coupons with the glossy coating will do terrible if soaked!
The coating on them will turn hazy and leave you with a terrible looking card when done. You find T210’s like that sometimes for the same reason. You could try to soak from the back to loosen the paper but I would NOT advise a “full soak”submerged in water.

Agree with Dave and Rhett. I tried soaking a T213-2 once, and it badly faded the card.
