I just assume if the card is a PSA 4 or less, it will likely have some degree of creases. If I want to ensure it doesn't, I buy a 5+.

The PSA 4 qualification runs the gamut. I've seen PSA 4 cards with wrinkles, rounded corners, or with a minor crease, but my Mantle and Snider are both PSA 4. Neither one has any creasing or wrinkles, plus the corners are decent. My Mantle is centered 30/70 from top to bottom and the Snider has a wax stain on the back, maybe that accounts for the vg/ex grade. I also added my SGC 4.5 Musial, which has a dinged corner at the bottom left. I suppose I wished that I had the money at the time for cards that were excellent to excellent mint, but I don't think that I did too badly.

Glad I am not the only collector who subscribes to this exceedingly simple concept....

I have a handful of PSA 4's. None have creases. Registration and centering are easier to see in pictures than creases.

I wish PSA, SGC, and Beckett had grader's notes.

I have seen PSA 7s and even 8s that have tiny wrinkles. It's very difficult for a card to have true surface integrity, especially it seems when it comes to cards from the 1970s.

Wish PSA had a qualifier for creases....
True. Common wisdom says that 5’s will not have creases or wrinkles on the front, but that’s not always the case. I once had a ‘55 Bowman Kaline that looked like an 8 from an arm’s length; razor sharp corners - but the front had some light, but rather large for what it was - wrinkling. It was graded a PSA 5. I think that’s pretty misleading. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
