I have three cards graded a "3" and they do demonstrate having a wrinkle, but no creasing. I have some ungraded cards as well that have either a wrinkle or a crease that's only noticeable under a light, but the sellers indicated as such. I'm replacing my other Berra which a solid, ungraded very good card. It has a wrinkle that goes from the left edge to just inside the arm and it lost a bit of its luster, but without any damage. The card I just received displays better, but it also cost more money, I expected better based on other PSA 4 cards I have received from auctions.

Yes, PSA graded the card and I disagree with their assessment on this one. For me, a description of a card is not solely based on the grade of the slab or its photo, having an accompanying description serves as a guide to better evaluate whether or not to purchase it. Had I seen "wrinkles" in the description, I would have passed and waited for another one to appear.
