The card needs to be square. Yes, it can be creased all to hell.....but if there are a chunk of card missing where it is no longer having an outline, then you won't get a grade. For example, there was an absolute beauty of a 1954 Hank Aaron rookie card in last Weds HUggins and Scott auction. It was missing a corner. Around the size of a nickle.....totally gone. That card would be authentic only as well....and I would love to have had it. I hate that you wasted your money like that, but that was the obviously outcome. You should have gotten it slabbed.
