Poll--- Do you smell your cards?

[t206trader]

Have never so much as sniffed a card. Something about sniffing things that other people have touched grosses me out.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

By far the weirdest poll as of yet.

Ha I definitely do with old cards like T206 or N28s. That musty smell is usually a good indicator that it's authentic.

I've never smelled any of my cards, but when I was heavy into collecting 60's and 70's Marvel comic books I couldn't help but notice the odors they gave off when I looked through them, especially if they were uncirculated warehouse copies.

I do it just to check for smoke smell. Ironically, even on my T cards I don't want them to smell like cigarettes.

Still remember my first sniffing - a pack of 1967 Philly Gum with a Dan Reeves. Something about the fresh Topps cardboard with gum smell. In fact, I might have to buy a vintage pack, just for the reminder.

I'll confess to having a good bit of spare time on my hands, but have never thought to use it for sniffing cards, or much else for that matter.

Good Lord what next.

Yes, especially CJ's which are often bleached.

[Paul S]

I'm a second-hand sniffer for about 60 years. Why would I stop now?

Maybe "have you ever made out with a card?"
