Yup, some wrinkles/creases are nearly impossible to pick up on a scanner, no matter how good it is.
It's kind of why I always shake my head whenever somebody asks the board what a card should grade at, down to half grade accuracy, from how a scan shows up on your browser.
...and nobody really wants to figure out lighting/camera angle/cropping with a camera phone shot on a tiny piece of cardboard encased (or not) in a shiny plastic object either.
A good scanner shot is usually the best you're gonna get.
