It's easy enough with the editing software that comes with your scanner to make most flaws go away. Depending of the crease, sometimes they become more pronounced, other times, they disappear when scanned.

I am conducting an experiment with a few of my current auctions. I am listing some cards that did not sell, for whatever reason, but each card a detailed description of the condition, mentioning wrinkles that are almost invisble in the scan. This time around, I went the route of many sellers and just said, check scan for details of description. I've got bids this time and have yet to get a single request for larger scans or a verbal description of the card.

Whenever I see an auction run like that, I ask for one or both. Seems to me that people want to think that they are high grade card without doing some further research to make sure the card is as presented.
