I've got a lot of 2s-4s that look like 6s, but only have that tiny/minuscule wrinkle down the middle.
Also have the ones with a fat crease down the middle, so agree with others that some people just folded them down the middle.
Regardless, I love me some T202!! (and think they deserve more attention as little works or art/action shots, and great bios) This one just arrived in the mail, the last Matty I needed.

Every time I see that card, Ian, I smile. Such a beauty.
