Default How to Soak a Card....and what to look for

Posted By: T206Collector

...high quality printer paper works very well in absorbing the moisture from a card left over after a good soaking. Treat the paper like the paper towels in Kevin's instructions and it will be fine. And no fear of dimples or whatever.

Also, I do not think this will work on 1972 Topps cards. It definitely works on T206 cards, which are lithographs and are not hurt by the water, so long as it is applied evenly throughout the card, as Kevin reminds us.

There was a posting a year or so back about which cards would and which cards wouldn't survive a good soaking. Since I have only soaked T206 cards, I do not have any idea what other cards this would work on. But I would find that thread before I started soaking my Goudeys, Old Judges or Play Balls...
