Definitely NOT an old wive's tale Minty. Back when I was a kid EVERYONE had their card stacks surrounded by rubber bands and they not only made dents, they very often broke the paper edges top, bottom & sides. That was the universal way to store them!
When I reclaimed my cards in the '80's after over 25 yrs in the closet almost all of them still had the rubber bands around them---some had actually "fused" to the top, bottom & sides of the cards!
