What's that smell?

Ok, I've noticed people on many various different threads bring up the smell of vintage cards, and I too have notieced virtually every pre-war card I have has some kind of odor to it, some more severe than others. |

Out of all the cards I have, Turkey Reds have the most distinct smell. Although most of mine are in the VG/EX to EX range, I do have a few that are borderline NM and they all have the same smell so I don't think the grade has anything to do with it. |

if anyone has any scientific data about what causes a mold or mildew smell in old cardboard over a period of many years. What about tobacco cards - do any of them retain the smell of tobacco over time, or does that dissipate? |

Although paper is usually the major component of books, many other materials may be present; ink, sizes glues, textiles, cardboard, wood, leather (imitation or genuine), metal and bone are some materials found in books. We should keep these other materials in mind when considering how to care for books. For example, metals can corrode, staining paper, leather and textile components. |

Yes, I believe I was one of the first board members to admit to "smelling" my cards. It might have even been as far back as the old FullCount board. I have since deviated to only smelling girl swimmer cards......otherwise, everything has already pretty much been said in this thread about it. (They do have different smells though)......regards all |
