I picked up a Bresnahan Portrait SGC 10 on eBay a few months ago. At the time, I couldn't tell if it was paper loss or paper attached. Much to my surprise, it came off easily. Very happy with the results. Anyone else want to share?

I don't have the before picture but this card had an approximately dime sized piece of paper stuck to the upper back. It blocked out quite a few of the words. Not anymore....

Can 1914 Cracker Jacks be soaked? It's not a legit thread these days without mention of 1914 CJ's, but seriously, can they?

Soaking makes me nervous. I've never done it, but that Hindu was definitely worth it!

I've never done it because I'm way too paranoid, but I have a friend that does, and he told me 1914's soak very well. I've been told that any amazingly white bordered, pristine looking, stain-free 1914's have probably been soaked at some point. I of course don't know if that's true, however.

I recently soaked a T206 Cobb that was tragically stained. I'll post video and photos after it comes from the grader. Not expecting a grade bump, just a palatable appearance.

I will dig through my scans later. I love soaking cards (and so does my wife).

I've never really soaked any cards until recently I tried on a couple junk commons including an e121 beater....

I've been wanting a decent looking Sisler E121 and snagged this one on ebay for pretty cheap I thought. I got it and worked up the courage to give it a bath.

before....

Seems like a "That's what she said" type of quote.

I soaked this Cobb, not for a better grade but for a cleaner look.
