A nice long soaking

[vintagetoppsguy]

After reading this thread, I decided to try this. I took an E95 Chance that was dirty (especially along the left border) and was very pleased with the results. I just got it back from SGC yesterday. It didn't grade any higher (and I could really care less), but it gave it a lot more eye appeal.

Very nice David, turned out great. I soaked 5 t205s after reading this thread and was also very pleased with the results.

I'm not a card soaker but have no problem with those who are. I tried a few T206s years ago with mixed results. The one card set I would caution fellow collectors to NOT SOAK is the E94 set. You are playing with fire.

Nice result David

This card was obtained 2009 B&L Auction. Had this George Washington paper afixed to the back. Decided to take a chance and soak it and see what happened.

Here is the result.

Does have small amt paper loss right lower corner(present before George was pasted on as nothing on the Washington I took off).

Used plain tap water, warm. Took only about 3 minutes for paper to come off.

I would use warm water and let it sit for an hr. Remove it and do again till the results are satisfactory. Maybe find a thin and tall unit to soak in and stand it on end?
