Soak the Cobb, but how Ty would have wanted it soaked in a tall glass of booze.

Be careful with the GAI case as card may be altered.

If you are a "closet" soaker who doesn't want to be outed, feel free to PM me with your thoughts. Rest assured that my Altzheimer's will protect your identity.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.

O Higher Grade, Higher Grade! wherefore art thou Higher Grade?
Deny thy handling, and refuse thy originality;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my card,
And I’ll no longer go unsoaked.

Fred, I've soaked a few t205's for my own personal collection. It didn't do a thing to the gold borders but I found it hard to remove stains in comparison to an 06.

Hi Fred,

Sorry for my Shakespeare posts within this thread. Since Doctor Frank is the one who started this, I couldn't help myself.

As to your question about soaking cards, I am wholeheartedly against this practice. To me, it is akin to the many alterations already being done to other cards treasured by collectors.

Just my two cents.

Best regards,

Eric

Eric's originality was forever lost when the meconium was wiped from his heinie in the delivery room. I might add that I have never soaked a Heinie.
