RobertI would appreciate it if someone could answer some questions regarding T202s and specifically regarding some raw T202s I just purchased. One that I purchased raw appears to be in near mint plus conditions. I would think that it is in SGC 86 condition - very clean. However, there is a fold/crease line parallel to the hinged fold line between the center panel and right player panel that is just within the color line of the right player panel. It looks like it was folded only one time at that location. How were the T202s originally folded and placed in the cigarette box? Were both panels folded or only one folded? Did they sometimes misfold the card when they originally put the card in the box. No paint is broken but the "crease" runs from top to bottom? How does this devalue the card. A second card again appears to be in SGC 86 condition but there is a surface crease right down the middle of the center panel running about 40% from the bottom towards the top (back not creased). I would think that this is common with these cards, but do not know how it would be downgraded. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
