A nice long soaking

Okay for sure no chemicals. Check

After I get the card clean is it okay to place between a cloth napkin and apply pressure to allow it to dry?

Water. It isn't chemical warfare, put everything else away. Unless your tap water is hard or has lots of minerals it should be fine. Store bought water would be a waste of money and effort. Cool water and patience... I'd stay away from warm or hot water if there's ink from a pen on the card.

never use bleach on T206 cards. it actually degrades the paper fiber more than if you were to use alcohol or lighter fluid for instance. You may also fade the ink using bleach.

Great news I got all the paper off the Brown. It actually soaked quite well. I used warm water and let him take a bath. I have a neat little tool with a rounded square tip (oxymoron) that pulled the paper off with very little issues. I also soaked a few T205's and they came out great.

Let's see some before & after pics please, Andrew!

I will get pics when I get back tomorrow night.

Guys, thank you for all the advice. I'm going to start with a 61 Koufax that has tape residue down the left and right borders. It's not in great condition anyway, so no real risk of trashing a high dollar card. If my results are worthwhile I'll share some pics. Thanks again for all the great information shared on this awesome site.
