My apologies first, as I do not mean to offend some ozcarders, but..............
Would like to ask the opinion of others about this point.
I occassionally receive cards which have a strong stench of cigarettes. I do not smoke and the smell of smoke puts me off a little. Its just that when you smoke, the smell gets stuck on to things.
For example, have you been in a car of a smoker? As soon as you get into the car, you can smell the smoke even without anyone lighting up. It is on the fabric and the plastic of the car.
Same thing with cards............the smell gets stuck on the card.
I sometimes have to quarantine the cards so it goes away and not spread to the other cards.
I know some sellers of products on EBay (not cards, usually clothing) do advertise stored in smoke free environment, just for that reason. Maybe sellers should do the same for cards.
Just my opinion.
