The '55 Bowman Kaline in question with wrinkles is an older slab, so maybe that's it.
I've also seen PSA blatantly ignore their own published standards apparently if eye appeal is good enough. A miscut card (even on the back) should have a MC qualifier or it should be a 1-Poor, the way I read their standards. I have a '66 Koufax that looks like a PSA 7, but it is miscut on the back (decently centered on the front). It's slabbed a 6.
