I am against soaking a card to stretch it so that it can be trimmed down to size, and then get a good grade. But I don't worry about it, because I'm not following along this mindless trend of pursuing "graded" cards.
I'm all for soaking an old T card to remove tobacco bits or paste or scrapbook paper.
And selling a raw card that has had glue or paper washed off of it isn't criminal, it isn't fraudulent... I lack the ability to comprehend the thought process that gets anone to the point to think that water on a T206 is a crime or a tort.
If you guys are serious about that stuff, you need to collect Goudeys or Old Judges, they don't soak. Then you'll be safe.
