The cards were not in PVC, but had obviously been stored in it at some point, so I guess the dealer was kind of nose blind.  |
I am too. I can't really smell most things unless they're really bad/good. I can smell stuff that would be semi hazards, like natural gas, or gasoline, and a couple other things.
On the other hand, I will very occasionally smell things I know for sure aren't there.
I think it's an ADD related brain processing error, like the hearing stuff I have. I used to think I had progressive hearing loss from years of being around loud stuff. Like at dinner in a restaurant, I'd only hear portions of the conversation at the table. But would also get portions of what people near me said. First week on ADD meds and that was fixed.
To add a bit on the original topic, some of the older toploaders will turn yellow/brown over time, even with decent storage. So I have to replace many of my oldest ones when the prices come back down.
