<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 1219383, member: 5213"]I have been collecting postcards recently and some I have purchased smell to high heavens of cigarette smoke and one smells like organic leaves like mold. None show any signs of mold growth whatsoever.... How can I go about getting rid of the smells? They are all in plastic sleeves so it isn't horrible, just wanted to know if there was a simple way to rid of the smells. I heard something about clay cat litter in a shoebox?</p><p><br /></p><p>One card I noticed has light mildew spotting very very faint, must be from a long time ago. Should I brush it off lightly just to insure none remains?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
