Unfortunately, that's a touched up version of the scan from the eBay auction and it's a prime example of what happens when you buy a card based on a scan 1/3 the size of the actual card and no description beyond "1956 Topps Mickey Mantle PSA 3 VG". If you look carefully at my touched up version of the scan there's about a 1 1/2 inch crease that runs from the edge of the card, past his ear and stops under his eyes. There's also a smaller crease in the bottom right that shows up more on the back than the front, but of course there wasn't even a back scan in the auction. All in all it's still a nice looking card for the grade, but I had no idea there were any creases until I had it in hand.
