i have also never soaked a card, BUT if your card in question, isnt a very expensive one, may as well do your first soak on it. GL

EK,

Thanks for wishing me good luck...at least, I think that's what, "GL" means. I am not too up-to-date regarding the abbreviations floating around on the Internet these days.

I am OK with the idea of cracking the card out of its holder and soaking it to remove the sticker. There is something else on the reverse, though, and I do not want to mess with that.

A stamp from P.B. White is on the back, too. If soaking the card will fade or distort this image, I definitely do not want to take that route.

Any thoughts on this?

Best,

Eric

I would say there is a very good chance the stamp will bleed heavily into the paper if you soak it. Depending on how long it's in the water it could end up so blurred that you won't be able to read it anymore. I'll post a scan of one of my backstamps that shows this when I am able.

Thanks,

AndyH

Andy,

Thanks for this info...it is greatly appreciated.

I look forward to your scan, and hope you had a chance to view the PM I sent to you regarding this card.

Best,

Eric
