Once again thank you for your answers--I realize you do not have to respond in a public forum. I have been a collector for over 20 years and I don't consider the removal of creases "accepted practice". In fact I still have graded high value cards that I bought in auctions in the early 1990s that I submitted and they came back a psa 4 because they have a very slight creaese on the card. An example of this is 1948 Leaf Joe DiMaggio. Another one is 1938 Goudey JoeD.I truly believe these would be psa 8s without the creases. I know a couple of your guys pretty well--and now know where to go to turn these into 8s if I want to sell.
