My First Slab Smells!

[comicalgems]

I would also like to see a scan of the book. Maybe someone will know a smoking collector who won't mind the smell.

Is the top label smoke stained? I bet it is...

[s-man]

Seriously, I am not reslabbing as I just got it and it is only worth the slab charge. It was won as a fluke.

 

 

You mean you won it as a fish?

 

Get yer March Madness grades in, slacker.

 

Its underway..hopefully with better guesses!

I recently bought a smelly slab, I could smell it immediately when I opened the package.

However, it's old moldy book smell, not smoke smell. I am afraid it might be coming from the book, and not just the slab.

 

It is quarantined from my other slabs until I can do something about the odear.

Like smoke, help!!!

 

 

 

Except...do it while holding the slab.

Aaaaaaaand........You're Welcome!

Hate to break the news to ya but the plastic in slabs don't smell like old, moldy books whereas the old, moldy book inside the slab very often can smell like old, moldy books.

Hey RingFinger, what is your first slab?

Any comic with a cool Mongul cover is ok in my book.

I'm suggesting getting a box of baking soda and sprinkling the entire box in a large enough box to hold the slab.

 

Set a tea cup upside-down, lay the book on the tea-cup and close up the large box for a few weeks.

 

I have no doubt this will work.

Place the slab in a box with a raw onion. It works on skunk urine.

I just got a slab in this week that reeks of cig smoke - no worries though, as I'm cracking the book out - should take care of the problem once the inner and outer wells are in the trash :thumbsup:

Ok, what had skunk urine on it that had to be saved? You couldn't just throw it out?

Well, that explains it... it was stinky to begin with!

 

Technically, I have numerous stinky-slabs in my collection for that same reason... you simply get used to the funk after awhile.

Have you tried an ointment...I hear it works for other smelly things

 

Maybe talk with your pharmacist

It was actually a house I lived in when I was a kid! All of the skunk urine went into the onion!

You put your house in a box with an onion? Did you live in Kandor?

 

 

 

[Boboset]

Did you eat the onion? It's ok, I think we've all done that in the past. Come on, you can tell us...
