Unopened packs and aging to cards; or, the dangers of not smoking

Posted By: Max Weder

I have taken the liberty of re-posting Jon Canfield's Obak pack, with the card that was inside.

My question is whether the effects of the tobacco and the cigarette paper from an unopened pack will by the passage of all this time have naturally aged any card inside, so the chance of pulling a mint card is eliminated. Can a tobacco pack from that era be sufficiently sealed so that oxygen can't mix? Anyone know? (I stopped smoking at the age of 11, so my opinion on the effects of tobacco is not worth much...)
