Soaking can remove the staining and many of those creases and greatly reduce the others.

Hopefully, we mess up the commons and not the big guns. I am hoping they get atleast an Authentic grade for most of those cards.

Anything will get an authentic grade if you have them slab all cards.

I would honestly suggest buying some complete beat to crap 60s or 70s cards and practice. After some practice soaking/cleaning cards you will then be ready to do a way better job on the tobacco cards. The most important part is the drying/pressing part so you can't tell the soaking pressing was done.
