Thanks - very good to know. Not sure what I did wrong with the T205 - it happened to one of the first ones I attempted to soak, so I never tried it again.

Regarding 'AUTH' qualifiers, I just found this one. Now this is funny...but a good idea - it's the same qualifier I will have later tonight during pool league:

T206 slabbed 'AUTH' Wagner

My one and only time I soaked a card.

Wow Chris, that's a huge difference.

I read what a few board members recommended and with a little help from some tweezers the paper floated right off.

on the card Chris showed it probably needed to be completely soaked, same with cards still stuck to an album page. But on cards that only have a small area with paper added, I just use a wet tissue and dab the added paper until its thoroughly wet, then it usually lifts right off with tweezers or a toothpick.
