Default Soaking a card?

Posted By: T206Collector

"In my opinion, not only is taking a crease out of a card wrong under any circumstances, it should be something that any vintage collector does not tolerate."

At least Peter was able to offer a rationale behind his opinion.

Jim,

In your opinion, why is it "wrong" and "intolerable" to press a card between two heavy books, or even a lucite screwdown, in order to permanently reduce or remove the appearance of creases or wrinkles on a vintage baseball card?

Do we all need to take our cards out of hard cases? And if not, what is an acceptable amount of hard plastic to keep our baseball cards in?

Thanks,

Paul
