Clipped corners, even for coupons, like a number of the 1928 PCL Exhibits in the current Mile High auction. Unless the card was extremely rare and had enormous significance TO ME, I just wouldn't want to own a card like that. They kind of reminded me of the 1907 Wolverine News Cobb (batting pose) which recently made several appearances on e-bay, with no takers even at $450. Now this is a rare Cobb rookie, so why no interest? The card was literally in several pieces!
I also generally steer clear of creases if possible; however, with a really tough, desireable card, such as the '23 Lections Ruth (where most of the very, very few that exist are in poor grade) or even the '47 Tip Top Bread Warren Spahn (true rookie, a short print in a rare set to begin with) or similar cards, I'll accept creases. In fact, I almost passed on one graded PSA 1 (Mk), until I checked the pop report and saw that of the mere 6 that had been graded, the HIGHEST graded example was a PSA 1!
