Brian:
The spider veins can be seen as creases, one and the same. Over the years when I was actively searching e-bay every day for Negro League items, I probably posted a dozen or more fakes on Net 54 as I spotted them as to avoid other Net 54 members making the mistake of buying and thinking they were legitimate. It happened to me when I first started collecting Negro League photos in 2006 and I learned my lesson the hard way. The seller disappeared from e-bay and I had to eat a $400 loss.
As far as wanting to keep the item, you should collect whatever you enjoy so if it makes you happy to have it, why not?
