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.

Yeah, I hear you, Steve. Those cards I ordered from way back not only reeked of cheap PVC, they actually were kind of slimy from, I imagine, years of storage in cheap plastic. The dealer very kindly refunded the sale.
I am currently dealing with a smeller problem, myself, called phantosmia - a disorder of the nasopharynx that causes strange imaginary smells, mostly a noxious burning or chemical smell. When it first came on, it seemed so real, I searched all over for something burning in my home until finally realizing it had to be in my head. I wondered if it was a Covid symptom or just another age-related issue.
