Dpeck, just because some random guys on a message board say that "soaking is okay" doesn't make all soaking okay. Especially when PSA has N-7 and SGC has Cleaned as reasons they don't give number grades to cards that have been soaked with bleach.

It is hard for me to understand how the cleaning process works. I honestly have no clue how people get cards wet and they dry even better.
That said it sounds very challenging to me if people can do this and there are no after effects that show they have done this other then perhaps prior photos of the same card.
