Here is GMC's criteria for the EX 5 grade:

Excellent 5

Centering: 75/25 both ways or better on front. 95/5 or better on back. Slight diamond cutting is allowed.

Corners: Four fuzzy corners, a touch of notching or a minor ding is allowed.

Edges: Noticeable roughness - but no layering. Very slight notching or noticeable chipping is allowed.

Surface: Noticeable print spots. Minor color or focus imperfections. Minor border discoloration. Minor wax stains or very light ink mark. Some gloss lost from surface with minor scratches, but devoid of scuffing.

I guess the crease visible on the card is actually considered a "minor scratch". Good pricing though: $ 1.99 per card for 2 day service.
