Another thread brings up a question I've always wondered. How does PSA handle cards that are already "damaged" when they are released?
What I mean is, cards such as the one below are issued with heavy creases or staples or other deformities that would otherwise drop a card to a 1 or auth at best.
They certainly take into account staining, which is inherent with many food issues. But what about creases, hang tag holes, staples etc.
I don't grade a lot of cards so I've wondered about this.
I know this is not a pre-war example but I'm sure there are some out there.
