It is a tiny white spot, either from printing or the faintest of scratches. I looked at it using my loupe and it doesn't appear to be a surface flaw. Certainly not a crease.

$50. The guy had it marked at $100 but it had about a quarter inch of dust on the toploader so I figured I could get him down. He has a lot of nice cards in his shop, but 90% are low grade.
His prices are all fairly similar (mostly EX to NrMt prices for G cards) and mostly condition indifferent. The key is just to find the nicest condition cards. He has a '56 Mantle gray back that is somewhere between poor and fair... would be lucky to pull a 2 from PSA. He has it listed at $500. But then I bought a Seaver RC off him for $300 that was Ex-Mt+. I think I have just about picked him clean at this point.

I know. The picture is one of the worst ever on a baseball card. That is why I like it! I do like how you can see the flannel of the jersey though, so much more character than today's uniforms.
