Opinions on Soaking/Pressing

Posted By: Frank Wakefield

Gentlemen, and Ladies, too...

This thread was about soaking, not an evil man of decades past.

To clarify, my support of soaking a T206 to remove dirt, scrapbook paper, and paste remains is in no way an endorsment of stretching and trimming a card. I'm absolutely against that. Completely. I'd think that measuring the frame line of the "picture" would reveal a stretched T206.

Someone back up there mentioned soaking a 1952 Mantle. Do that only if you dislike the Mik, or if you want to decrease the card population, or it is your soon-to-be ex-wife's Mantle and you're destroying it for revenge... It is my understanding that 1952 Topps won't survive water.

Regardless of everyone's position on soaking, it is really great to be "soaked" with this fountain of knowledge. You guys are great! Even the ones of you who are wrong on this!
