Default opinions- is taking a crease out really altering?

Posted By: Brian Weisner


I agree with David, I have never seen a crease or wrinkle disappear after being pressed in a screw down or a few hundred books. You can flatten a warped card, but you can't get rid of a crease. I believe taking a crease out of a card is altering, and I think that most collectors would agree. I remember a few dealers in the late 80's early 90's who "spooned out" creases to improve there appearence. The crease was still there, it just didn't look as bad, and was tough to see in a screwdown holder. I considered this practice an alteration to the card then and I still do today. Be well Brian
