I noticed that too Bob, although the Shoeless Joe has visible fold lines both front and back, and went for the most money. The Cobb may have a diagonal fold line also, unless that's just the holder. Fold lines are sometimes really tough to discern on these, but IMHO, even if they were treated as creases, that would not knock the grade down to 1.
There are some very small white spots on the back, often in the corners, that may be evidence of these at one time being in an album. Kind of hard to say as those instead could be some sort of pressure spots from being held in the PSA holder. Speaking of that, it will be interesting to see if these premiums slide in the holder. I own a couple of M101-2s in Beckett holders where they don't slide. Then again, the holders are way too bulky--I would have paid more for the premiums to have them raw then to now worry about trying to crack open these tombs and somehow damage the fragile contents inside.
