My two cents: I now look for vintage cards with surface wrinkles because:

1) they are affordable because they are technically lower grade

2) they have outstanding eye appeal

Here is my 1952 Bowman Willie Mays that is a PSA 2….that looks like a PSA 8. It has near perfect centering (which is almost an impossibility with that card), razor sharp edges and corners, snow white borders, and flawless color/registration. The only issue is three light surface wrinkles on the front that you can’t see 75% of the time. Buy the card, not the holder! Sorry they are sideways….

This one has a tiny wrinkle/crease between the edge and border about halfway up the left side.
When I asked about the grade a few years ago, that and a tiny flake of paper loss on the top right corner - tiny, like if the card had typical 4 corner wear it would have more missing - was all that kept it from a much better grade.

That is the best looking '2' I have ever seen. Downright criminal.

God bless. That’s why I acquired it and it didn’t set me back $25K!
