Has anyone noticed this, or know why this is going on? See the pictures below for example. I've noticed that many 1994 chrome cards can be found with the greenish cloud on them. Did they come out of the pack in 1994 like this, or did this happen over time?
It almost looks like the cards were left out in the sun, but I know that this isn't the case. A few years ago I opened up a sealed 1994 Topps traded set, and the Topps Finest inserts had the green discoloration on them.

I've chalked it up to Louisiana being exceptionally humid. No idea if that's accurate.

When did you first start noticing this? Like, how many years after the cards' release?
I notice this flaw going up to 1998, but not from 1999 on up. Hopefully the industry got a handle on things by then. Otherwise, we'll start to see this flaw creep on.
