Hi Dan,

I am pretty certain it is spooned. I saw this done quite a bit in the 80s before the grading companies came to the fore.

The technique is as simple as rolling the underside of a spoon over the afflicted area to iron/flatten out the wrinkles.

I am sure it is not just a dent as the card has about 5 small wrinkles on multiple areas of the card. The shining (by product of spoon pressure) to the surface only appears right on each of the 5 wrinkles and nowhere else.
