    Bought 100+ tobacco cards earlier. Most are very clean. However, this one card was quite alarming, doesn't smell like mildew or mold. I don't know if it's mold or not? Mold is usually black isn't it? Any idea?

    Its the remnants of adhesive from when it was stuck in an album.

    This is how they were collected, stuck in an album, the information on the back of the card was repeated in the album.

    Hi,
    From your photos I can not tell if it is adhesive remains or yanked off the card. If it is glue remains freeze the card and the glue will break off the card.

    Its too far gone, its torn in the places marked and parts of the back have detached and been left in the album.
    Its common card and has no value in this condition.
