How to Soak a Card....and what to look for

I have relied on these tips in the past, and have myself posted them. There is really nothing new here.

I'm not sure why it was necessary to post these guidelines again. For whatever it's worth, PSA and SGC slab soaked cards, even when it is obvious that soaking has occurred. I've owned countless examples in both holders where you could easily see glue residue on the reverse of a T206 card that had been soaked out of an album. The card might not grade higher than a 4, but this type of alteration is accepted by PSA and SGC. If you don't like that, bring it up with your favorite local grading company.
