The reason I don't agree is because you don't know how those creases got there. You could come up with a story of how those creases got there, which lead lead to more fun, but it greatly diminishes the presentability and therefore value of the card.

Now, if I had those cards from when they were pack fresh they would have great sentimental value to them, each crease and marking telling a story. Although a person wanting to purchase those cards would not have the same attachment to those cards. Nor would I blame them.

It could also depend on the provenance and story behind the card. For example if a card was creased from being signed by Mickey Mantle in person, and that story was passed down would be one thing. But if the card was merely stepped on by a younger brother would not be as intriguing.
