If I was an expert in soaking (I'm not  ) and wanted this card, I'd rather win it as is and then do the work myself than to take a chance on someone doing the work that's never done it before. Sort of like how they say never to do anything to the finish on an antique piece of furniture if you are not a professional.
In any case, best of luck with the sales, glad to have you on board the forum and hope to see more of your collection in the future!

Thanks Steve,
I agree. I have worked on a few antiques over the years, and sometimes I wish I hadn't! All of you guys have been great. I appreciate all of the input and advise I have received so far. All of it.
I'll see about posting some more scans, but that Crandall/Uzit is a tough act to follow...
I was all revved up about having a Cobb, a Mathewson, a Johnson etc. only to find out old Doc was probably the best of the lot.
Go figure.
Regards,
Doug
