No 'Before' scan, but did find an 'After' scan...Ouch!

Default Ogden’s Tabs or Guinea Golds
Has anyone ever soaked an Ogden’s Tabs or Guinea Gold? (British tobacco cards from around 1900.) If so, what was your experience? Thanks.

The 1901 Guinea Gold looks to be a photographic card. I don't think I would be soaking those. I might use a wet Q tip to remove a blob of dirt otherwise. Others might know more as I haven't soaked any. They are blank backed. This is a pic from ebay. Biot sure about the others you asked aboiut.
And welcome to the forum.
ps...this is a 6 yrs old thread
