That musty odor....

Seal them for a few days in a plastic tub with a couple of inches of baking soda inside the bottom of the tub.
Most varieties of kitty litter will also be effective in place of baking soda.

Baking soda, the universal de-smeller..... duh. Never thought of that. Thanks!

Thanks Butch (great name BTW)

I have my cards hanging out in a plastic tub and some baking soda now.

Cheers!

Ha, not sure. But it has been reported there is an air about him…. Cough.

I second the dryer sheet recommendation. I've done this with books, record sleeves and cardboard video game boxes numerous times over the years to great success, so I see no reason it wouldn't work for baseball cards.

Edit: whenever I've done the dryer sheet fix, it has been because the item has stunk of cigarettes, not really a mustiness. It's the same premise though, but I just thought I should point that out.

Ok thanks. I will do that next if the baking soda does not do the trick.
