A Cautionary Tale - Water and removing gunk.

I think maybe it�s a skill you have to practice with. I tried soaking a couple of commons (a 1933 Goudey and a 1952 Bowman) to try and remove some gunk and brighten their appearance. They both definitely looked worse after I soaked them (I think I was too aggressive on the gunk removal process).

I know there are people on here that swear by that process, but I think I�ll just leave it to the experts

I'm with you John. I guess I still have a lot to learn about the hobby.
