Actually I have a number of both T205 and T206 but more T205s. However the best smelling cards imo are T3 Turkey Reds I started this poll because I thought it to be funny and interesting. The reason I began to use my nose was that a few years ago I bought a card and upon removing the card from the top loader it was stiff and brittle and had the smell similar to lighter fluid or turpentine. I have since found the sniff test as both enjoyable and a way to detect chemical alteration. |

I've never smelled any of my cards, but when I was heavy into collecting 60's and 70's Marvel comic books I couldn't help but notice the odors they gave off when I looked through them, especially if they were uncirculated warehouse copies.

The real question should be ...
Does PSA smell the cards? Its all part of the authentication process, ... right?

Likewise, I'll confess to snorting the bubble gum dust off of my Topps cards back in the day...
