Thanks for the encouragement, guys. I think Messers. Goslin and Donohue are going swimming this weekend.

For those of you who have never tried soaking, some cards--most Ts and Es--soak just fine. Follow the directions above. Others are a disaster. I wouldn't soak anything post-war, and of course the real photo items like T200s and T222s are a definite no-no. Some you can soak, but very carefully, like the Allen & Ginters. (I've tried the various Birds series, and I assume the others would be similar.) The paper holds up pretty well, but it does get a little soft and you have to be careful about trying to use a Q-tip to remove scrapbook paper--you might end up removing a little of the surface of the card at the same time.

Just so you'll be less stressed about it, soak the worst of the bunch first, and get a feel for how that goes and what you're doing... It'll be just fine.
