I'm having vision problems - please help
 
I'm concerned that my eyes are getting worse. Is this just one of those cards that got crinkled early on and then ended up in a scrapbook?

Hard to say, especially without seeing the back. Your hypothesis would make sense per the wear it shows from the front.

Hey Scott, I have two that likely had this happen. I usually prefer rounded corners over creases but occasionally you get a few "poor" gems.

Yeah, I have one as well - T206 black cap Matty - but this one looks both small, and 'funny' on the top two corners. Hard to tell without better scans - the ones in the auction are much larger.

it appears too small for an E90-1, might have gotten a hair cut

your idea makes sense to me 'tho you might want to consider the possibility of your having an ophthalmic migraine. If so, try a couple of advil and call Leon in the morning!!! :)

best,

I'm too distracted by that hideous holder to focus on the card and i'm not bashing for the sake of bashing. The holder really consumes the image. I collect art and this is like putting a piece of folk art in a wal-mart frame.

Shhhh!!!! This is like telling the emperor about his new suit, only with thousands of emperors!

It could also have slipped out of a toploader during shipping. I have a nice T206 that did that on its way to me Nice corners, nice color, bunch of creases at the top. :(
