There was an article online a few years ago that reported results of a poll on the subject of "smells or aromas most strongly remembered." High on the list was the odor of pink gum slabs coming out of wax packs. Apparently the olfactory center of the brain is closely linked to the emotional recall area, which...sorry about the tangent. Personally, I think the powerful memory has as much do with the first childhood experience with gambling and the excitment of hoping to find a valuable card in among the commons.
But, I'm with Dave - can't imagine any miracle treatment that would remove 50-year-old stains on cardbacks without destroying the card itself.
