I ordered a NM card and when I opened the envelope I could immediately smell an overwhelming reek. I hoped it would just be the envelope or sleeve, but unfortunately the card also has a nasty odor.

Visibly, the card is near mint and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. But the smell!! To be honest I am not even comfortable putting the card in my binder, I am too scared it might affect my other cards in the binder.

Can anything be done about the smell and do you think sellers should disclose that cards are from a smoking household? Can I safely store the card or will it 'damage' my other cards? And are cards that look pristine but smell disgusting still considered NM?
