This is very similar to my experience. I too was strictly a no crease person but I have learned that not all creases are equal. A small/light crease that doesn't go through the center is sometimes tolerable for me. Rounded corners don't bother me either. Centering, since it's the first thing that my eye notices, and registration are definitely the two most important for me.
I also can relate to the "I know it when I see it" collector as well. Many times a card has just hit me and I gotta have it steps in.
