Ok, let me give this new system a try:

 

Lilac-Fresh

Fresh

Mothballs

Stale

Dank

Rank

Stank

Rancid

Greggy's shorts

 

 

The thing is, occasionally you'll win a comic on ebay (raw, obviously) which'll look half decent but will either smell chronically of cigarettes or intense dankness (or short shorts, of course) to the extent that you end up being afraid of putting the damn thing with any of your other books for fear of contaminating them with the stench.

 

So yep, I think CGC should recall all slabs they've done since they began in order to apply the Scent Designation to each of them.

You can actually help identify certain pedigrees with smell.

 

Wonder which one this is from?

You buy any books, Andy, from Bob's "oil furnace" collection? I got one of those into a slab as fast as humanly possible - until then, it couldn't even be kept in the same house as the rest of my collection.
