It looks better for sure! I have not ever soaked a card as I am too scared. I have one that I believe would be the perfect candidate but I just cant do it. Its a 53 Mays and its the most I have ever paid for a card, more than 2x as much actually! I paid 1,110 for it a few years ago because I wanted to complete the 53 set (my fave) and that was the only one left. Someone should start a business soaking cards for chickens like me.
