BobI wonder if 50 years from now (I'll be long gone) cards with great fronts and tiny bits of paper loss will be far outselling creased cards with much less eye appeal but no paper loss? I think they will. I think the grading companies have trained us to reject cards with back paper loss and instead to buy creased cards with complete backs, especially when they give both cards the same grades. I also think that 50 years from now cards which are slightly trimmed will far out distance poor, fair and even good graded cards. The advent of opening up grading and slabbing the cards as "authentic" is just the first step.
Just my 2 cents worth.
