Are my expectations too high? Creased vintage cards

[Econteachert205]

You should expect cards that fit the grade given. As said anything ex or higher shouldn’t have a crease.

When I sell, I describe all flaws I can see with a card and then offer my grade opinion. If there is a flaw I can see in a graded card, I offer the same in my description. Grading is highly subjective. I agree a card in EX should have no creases - I might describe a card as "a small surface crease, otherwise EX". When buying I just ask the question if the description and or scan are unclear - Are there any creases, paper loss or other flaws?
Many sellers sadly do not describe their cards thoroughly enough.

Enlarged scans typical are ok. If there is a minor surface wrinkle that you have to hold at exactly a 33% angle under florescent light just to even see it should that be disclosed?

Of course it should be disclosed. If someone is shelling out good money for a piece of cardboard, they have the right to know what they're getting. If a car has a scratch on it that can only be seen from an angle, is it still not a scratch?

Returns are a big hassle for the buyer and a waste of money and time for the seller.
