I remember when I rejoined the hobby realizing these sites existed and seeing all the mint cards.
I asked more than once, since I knew card savers, top loaders, etc, didn't exist back then, how so many of these cards (pre-war mostly) were kept all these years in such pristine shape?
I heard in cigar boxes, between the pages of large books, etc, and I believed those stories, for the most part, but something just didn't sit right with me.
Sadly, as I somewhat suspected, I now know, like all of us, these means of keeping them pristine were, for the most part, likely made up stories.
