Great post Frank. I love how the colors of the cards actually became more bright and beautiful after the soaking!

Worked on this one yesterday. RPPC from 1909. Bought if off ebay because Winslow, Ind. is my mom's family's hometown.Unfortunately it had something stuck to it with non water soluble glue. Still I was able to remove the paper and only the cloudy glue remains. Looks a little better. I'm going to try something more drastic in that lower left corner.

This is the card soaking. Almost all over the substance came off. The card is now drying.

Alex. fold it in a paper towel and pile some weight on it. Have a dozen big hardback books is enough. Change the paper towel a couple of times and let it sit for a day or two. It will come out completely flat. Maybe flatter that when you started.
