Cards from photo albums
From time to time, I have come across cards that have some light indentations around/above the corners. Once in hand, but generally not visible in a scan, it is obvious that the card has these light indents from being displayed in a photo album. Opinions on how a card with these light indents will grade are likely varied.....I would like to know what the various opinions on this topic are.

IME they grade a 2, also if there are lines on the back from the album also grades a 2.
You can pick up some great NM cards at a fraction of the price if you dont mind either one!

Thank you Ted, the reason I ask is because I have heard both ends of the spectrum on how a card with indents such as this would grade. As you mention, cards such as this should grade out as a 2. However, recently I have noticed several larger sellers on ebay mention that cards with indents such as this grade in the range of VG-EX/EX/EX-MT. One larger, higher volume seller mentions the following in their listings: "major grading companies still grade these cards EX to EX-MT depending on the severity, so we do the same. That isn’t the same as a crease as the paper isn’t broken"
Anyone have any grades similar to this come back? |

Depending on severity, they grade anywhere from the 2 to a 5. I haven't seen one legitimately given better than a 5.

Having a grade range based on the severity of the indent makes more sense. Some indents can only be seen when a card is tilted at the proper angle, while others would be as obvious as a face with a second nose.
