I would say it's a weird gray area then. It's possible/probable that the graders didn't think it was pressed. We hear all the time about submitters who got cards back ungraded/rejected, usually due to 'pressing' occurring in screwdowns, so it stands to reason that the graders specifically look for those types of things.

And, I hate to say it, whether or not you think it was pressed, it does sit with (I assume) a number on the slab, so it's 'worth' just as much as any other card with the same number when it comes to selling it later on. Sort of a sad plausible deniability thing, I guess. Not saying that it's right, of course, but it is the reality of the situation.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
