Gum stains on the other hand, can penetrate the card's surface and cause 'bubbling' on the front. They seem to be a more permanent type of damage than the wax stains. Probably some of the worst cards for gum stains were the 1981 Donruss and Fleer- their first issues. I can remember putting entire boxes of them in the freezer to be able to 'pop' the gum off the card. Hey, maybe there are still some boxes in there - I'd better check on that.
