Eric BHow does folding a card that was designed to be folded affect price? For example, let's say you have an EX example of a T201 Mecca double-folder. It has no creases or paper loss. Just some slightly rounded corners and normal light wear. But has not been folded at all - when you hold it up by one end it does not bend. Let's put a value of $200 on it.
1) Now let's say it gets folded once or twice. Holding one end causes very little bend. Otherwise still no creases (other than the fold of course).
2) It's been folded a dozen times or maybe twice, but stored that way for a long time. Holding one end causes it to bend 15 degrees or so. But the fold is still mostly solid. Same condition otherwise.
3) It's been folded dozens of times. Bends about 90 degrees. Maybe the ends at the fold are a bit looses, but not falling apart. Same condition otherwise.
