This is what I would consider "foxing"......
vs. a card showing toning. Last edited by old-baseball; 09-29-2011 at 02:42 PM. |

I notice foxing mostly on Exhibit cards. They seem to be magnets for it ...

Thanks Kevin, I didn't really know what was meant by the term either, and your illustration really clarifies it!
Best wishes, Larry |

"Foxing" is a complicated term, but if you see brownish spots, the item is foxed, or could have some other kind of mold problem. I think that foxing often looks pretty bad. And it does not automatically signify an old item.
Additionally, sellers tend to significantly understate the amount of foxing on an item, so it is important to take a close look at the item (or get several high-quality images of it) before buying. Finally, if you think an item shows foxing, or some other kind of mold problem, it is important to check if the item smells of mold, or smells funny in any way. Hope this helps!
