Is this worthwhile grading, and what grade do you think it would get? TIA

Looks like a 3 . It's up to you if it's worth the grading fee .

A 3? Looks better than that.

Is that a long horizontal crease running from the left about where it says 'Tigers' on the back all the way across and running downward diagonally?

At first glance I was also thinking it looks better - then I took a closer look and saw all of the creasing.
I now agree that it's no better than a 3, and probably not worth the grading fees.

There's no creasing. I'll scan again.

Saw no paper loss. Only issue in scans is the "line" across the lower left corner.
Nice but not necessarily a card I would grade xcept as a set collector. JMO

Under magnification the areas that are circled are not creases. Surface or spider wrinkle.

Is the first scan you posted a full card scan? If so I am almost certain it has been trimmed top and bottom.

As an example, the "u" in league is a solid black letter. If there was a crease, there would be a crease going through the "u' also. No creases.

2-7/16th by 3-1/8. SCOVBC says 2-1/2 by 3-1/8

What no one seems to want to tell you is, NO its not worth grading.

If you want a graded copy you can get one for $30.00 your choice of a PSA 5.5 or an SGC 6.
None of them are mine by the way as I don't own a copy of this card.

All of those surface wrinkles will likely drop the grade down to a 3. Not worth grading.

was going to say the same thing.
For what it's worth, this Kuzava is only graded a 3, and I assume that is due to the slight spider or surface wrinkle that can be seen on the back.
I have seen a lot worse cards graded higher so I think they were super tough with this card for some reason? :confused:

Then there's what looks like an erased "ML" after his last name. 3 maybe less. Nice for the grade, but still not any better.

Even closer.
Always good to have another set of eyeballs take a closer look. Especially eyes that work:)

You can see the "wrinkle on bit sides of the card " . I wouldn't even know what to call it if that's not a crease or a wrinkle .

I see it grading a '2'. That's a spider wrinkle. I'm sorry, but save your $6 grading fee. It would probably bring $3 at auction.

Much nicer eye appeal than technical grade.

Grades are guide to value but to me and many others visual appeal is more important. ...and values follow that way too.
