Need Some Expert Advice - Results of Soaking

[Baseball Bob]

I would consult Dick Towle if he is still in the business. He did a great job separating my cards from an album and not damaging any of them.

Who is Dick Towle? Is he member of the board?

Dick Towle ran a card alteration and modification service doing all kinds of accepted and not accepted practices both. He passed away last year.

Sorry to hear that.

Most look good, but most of those bottom two rows of t206 look like reprints. Perhaps someone who wanted to display the sheets and didn't like the empty rows so filled them in?

the bottom right are reprints, the rest are dandy. No advice as to removal though, sorry.

I already know about those last 2 rows. She told me they looked like copied made off of a printer. I believe that you are right about filling in the empty spaces.

At this point, I am going with the assumption that they are all authentic except for the photos on the last 2 rows.

I think that the best course of action would be to cut out some of the commons that are pasted around the perimeter of the sheet. Try soaking them to see what we are up against. If successful, then move on to the others. One by one.

Now, the $64,000 question is, what is the best soaking method. Please advise only if you have tried it and was successful.
