But I bet it's a lot more fun buying cards when you don't care about pesky things like creases on a face as long as it has the grade you desire.
In my opinion it's a higher than usual risk proposition to pay a huge premium over the grade for eye appeal, on a card that's relatively easy to find. I guess we just disagree. In any event, Sam is happy, so it's really more a debate about philosophy than this specific card.
