It was way cheaper to learn this lesson on a box of junk wax hockey than itwas for that poor guy with the 72s.

This is what being in a box with round candy in it does to a baseball card over time.

51 and 52 Bowmans are notorious for wax stains.

No pics but a couple years ago I opened a box of 90 or 91 Topps. It had been stored in the sellers basement since new. Nastiest cards i have ever seen/smelled.
