Bummer, I am not sure if that constitutes that I can't grade since I have 10,000+ positives on ebay but vintageshinystuffguy is right! There is a slight wrinkle in the card.
I have to change my listing and get a better picture up.
Ugh! thanks for the heads up though David.

Dan, I can normally tell when you've got your tongue firmly planted in cheek but you've lost me on this one. I, for one, have a strong stance on creases being rolled out of cards. Jim suggested earlier that the crease should be mentioned if you relist and you scoffed at him.
The idea of soaking the card in water is widely seen as permissible to remove grime and paper but I don't like the idea of creases being rolled out and then not disclosed to the future buyer.
Also, in another thread JManos mentions "what can I soak this in" suggesting that there is some chemical which might remove rust stains other than water?
I'm a bit disturbed lately with the amount of doctoring being openly discussed in threads. Certainly better to be openly discussed than underground but I'd rather it not be happening.
If you were joking about the crease rolling, pardon me, but maybe this is an opportunity to discuss whether people think crease rolling is acceptable.
I vote no.
