This thread is sort of taking me back to the grade school days of the purple-inked mimeograph machine. Remember taking a whiff of those tests and quizzes? Disclaimer: I do not smell anything that I get.

One of the world's experts on dating and authenticating ancient vases goes though all the scientific testing, but his last test is to lick the vase as he knows what they're supposed to taste like. He said his wife fears he will die of some ancient disease.

Never had the urge to taste one of the cards.

I sorta helped derail my own thread here. Anyone think this card is bleached? Would anyone care?

It's very possible unless it's a poor scan and yes I would care if I were to pay a non-bleached price for it.
