I imagine most of the T201 cards that are seen folded in this (and other) seller's listings were already in that bent over condition before scanning, so I doesn't bother me. If the card were in crispy new shape and the seller wanted to show potential buyers what it would look like when folded, well then...ouch.

I'm all about using things for which they were intended. I let my 8 yr old flip my '37 Goudey Thum Movies.....she thinks they're the coolest things in my collection.

No question these are sensitive issues and in many cases they show heavy wear at the folds. In some cases when I have purchased these cards when folded - the fold tends to protect the colors and surface. I enjoy these issues, but you always need to look at them closely - so my answer was "maybe"
