Need Some Expert Advice - Results of Soaking

[Prof]

When you get to it, can you post a good pic of the Cobb T206 that looks orange instead of red? I'd like to see a close up.


I'd just send things to SGC for grading.


Congrats on the successful removals. Hopefully my first soaking project goes as well as this.

I'm sure that was very stressful. Nice job rescuing these cards!

SGC will be just fine and timely. That's a nice find. If selling is the goal, they will sell regardless of damage. I once had a T202 Cobb-Moriarty-Cobb sliding that had been soaked in some sort of oil and was dark brown. A restoration expert told me to try using Bestine soaks to see if the oil would come out. It did, but the cardboard was gray as a result. Still a ton better. I (stupidly) sold it. Full disclosure on what had been done. My regret is that I just wish i still had the card.
