Is this card too nice to place into a binder?

I bought this 52 Topps Scheib for my binder. I have poor to excellent cards in the binder, but would like a vg/e set eventually. Is this a high grade card that I should send off for grading, and wait to pick up a vg+ example of another Scheib later? Am I missing the flaws and should just be happy and throw it into the binder? It's a 6.5 or better, right? No?

Nice card, but no way it would grade a 6.5 or 6. Drop it in the binder and check it off the list.

You can buy a PSA graded 6 for around 70-80 bucks.

Thanks for the feedback. I would only send it in if you all thought it had an outside chance at an 8. I've seen worse cards in 8 holders.

Early results are saying 5 and 6. I have not done a poll in a while. Next time I will try to use the 'private' option to get more votes. I was wanting the results to be visible to people that had not voted yet.

I paid $10.47 for it with combined shipping. It was listed as vg/e w/crease. I have looked with a magnifying glass and cannot see a crease.

Nice score for the money Rob!

When I look at the pictures, I can see what looks to be like a bend on the card back, lower quadrant in the photo.

Thanks. And thanks to all that voted. It's going into my binder. GMC listed as vg/e crease. I could not see a crease with a magnifying glass, but here is a 1200 dpi photo which shows a crease only visible on the back at the top of the card. The photos in my first post are 300 dpi. I think a tpg grader might have easily missed it as I originally did.

Until gonefishin mentioned the back, I did not notice anything until his comment prompted me to scan the back at 1200 dpi. Here is the card in it's new home. GL all on your sets.

It’s a crease if it goes through back and front; otherwise if it just goes through the back, it’s a surface wrinkle.
