I still remember the smell of the 1967 baseball packs. Did anyone here ever open a pack of the 1992 Topps Kidspacks. That was some nasty smelling gum.

1981 Donruss had a particular scent to them for sure.

Wild Card basketball.  After sitting in boxes for almost three decades, they still have that smell.

'89 Topps, '89 Donruss and '89 Upper Deck.  The 1988 Donruss was my first ever year collecting, but 1989 is when the smells became very familiar ( lots of packs lol)

Some older Topps / O-Pee-Chee cards (and some LCS) have their own smell, but I agree the late 80's / early 90's Donruss have their unique smell that continue to last 25-30 years later.

Yes indeed! 

Brings back awesome memories from a time when one could afford cards(no 500$ 1 card packs) and to have fun.

Still hoping we could ditch the term "junk" and replace it with affordable or properly priced.
