I think you've got something there, Brian. My '56 Kahn's Frank Robinsion with an EX+ appearance, but back damage had obviously been glued into a scrapbook, and then removed improperly, but with a blank back, I wasn't overly concerned. Also have a '21 Exhibit Hornsby (which just absolutely captures the old ornery cuss to me) which had been placed in a photo album and was knocked down to VG-EX due to the very slight indentations at the card tips--otherwise, it was a strong EX-MT. More recently, the 1910 PC796 Walter Johnson I won in the REA had been kept in a photo type album, and apparently had similar, very light indentations, but otherwise appeared EX-MT to NMt to the naked eye.
Good post!
