1970 article on soaking T205s and T206s

"... or stick them in a hot oven"

This sounds like a plausible explanation for many of the T206s out there that have one or more crispy edges/brown burn marks. I have heard rumors of a card store that had a fire (with what must have been a gigantic inventory) but many soakers forgetting about the cards in the oven for a few extra minutes seems like a better explanation for a lot of these cards.

on more than one occasion i got water inside the crystal of my watch...so i placed it in the toaster oven for a spell at low temp...voila...problem solved.

the next time this happened...I did the same thing...but forgot about it...left it in there for hours...the watch looked like a salvador dali image!

Thanks, Bryan. I'm never quite sure how many people are interested in this stuff, but I know there are at least some, so I'll keep posting it.
