I am absolutely opposed to restoration that involves rebuilding corners, trimming, recoloring.

However, I have zero problem with the idea of soaking a card to remove or reduce a faint crease, or perhaps something adhered to the card. As long as the card itself is not being materially altered.
I agree. I have no problem with soaking a card to remove scrapbook scrap, glue or other schmutz. Today I am soaking eight T206. A Titus for scrapbook and seven others for schmutz. When I left the house, this morning a couple of the "dirtier" cards were turning the water a faint nicotine color. I am OK with that.....
