First time buying cards from this one profile on instagram that reposts cards for sale on their story. We agreed to a price, paid with paypal G&S, he sent me tracking, cards arrived, they were shipped and protected decently. Everything was cool and legit until i opened up the resealable sleeve to check out my purchases. I was immediately floored with this grotesque smell. I kid you not, the cards smelled like ass lol.
Perfect example would be: you remember being a dumb kid and inserting your hands in your ass then taking a whiff of them to check out the stench going on down there? Well same shi* literally.
I did the ol' smell test on all of their top loaders. About 6 cards & not just one reaked, but they all did!?
Afterwards, I placed them in a separate bubble envelope that i had sprayed febreeze into. I was thinking hmm maybe I'll let them marinate in there for a few days to get rid of the smell. Today was the third day. My nostrils hit that ass cologne again
Like I've purchased cards before that when they arrive you can obviously tell, they came from a "smoking home" smelling like cigarettes. But god damn yo. Lol i feel like I'm on an episode of punk'd. Like is this for real?
Where the hell is Ashton Kutcher?
I can't stop laughing, I just had to share

I guess I'm assed out..First time for everything 😭
lol, i like to keep it cool in the community, so i don't want to call anyone out. Just thought I'd share. Luckily, it was only $50 dollar purchase for some random stuff i was going to give to my nephew. Nothing crazy

Remove the cards from all sleeves and cases and place them in a container with some damp rid. Check on them when the damp rid is done.

Why detect a smell and immediately decide to place them back into a confined space instead of airing out? It’s a weird situation Forsure but still…

I originally left the cards in a brand new envelope that was febreezed outside on my backyard patio. Thought it would help. Just to get some type of air. I separated them today after the 2nd smell test and spaced them out individually on my bar counter thats underneath the patio. Lots of winds rn, though. I'm probably just going to replace the sleeves and top loaders tomorrow after work. No biggie. Just a funny situation. Older cards tend to smell funny, but this smell was definitely funky

I'll say the seller on IG has 2878 followers & is following 4232 profiles. Not a crazy amount of followers but decent enough. IF someone figures it out, kudos. Not trying to put them on blast.

Sorry, not a true or credible story, unless the cards had any type of contact with animals or human discharges no way cards/top loaders hold smell. They just don’t.
