Posted By: <b>Julie</b><p>possibly a bit of discoloration lower left--yes, vg-ex is PRETTY generous, but I think originial poster was more conerned with his (very funny) joke about PSA taking marks off a Colgans because the corners had all been cut off.<BR><BR>I'd give it a--o blast, I wouldn't get it graded.

Posted By: <b>brian p</b><p>Have to admit, wanted to get my corner funny business in--I like a good joke you can choke on. But, being a mid to lower grade collector, my opinion is that a vg-ex card should never have such a noticeable crease as this one. It can have a crease, as long as the rest of the card looks great, but only the type that you can see when you hold the card at an angle. Not one that breaks the surface of the card like this one. If I were selling it (un-graded, of course, because I dislike the whole card-grading system), I would probably call this G-Vg (now there's a grade I think all the grading companies, but heck, I live it that niche).<BR><BR>Brian

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I would think it's a 2-3.....regardless of who's selling, or what it is, I sort of don't like the whole "crease in the face" thing for my collection..........even if it's one I'M selling I don't like head shots....still a nice card for a collector grade collector <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> and won't cost as much as one that is technically a 4 ....regards all
