Anyone else down on the PSA holders with the sleeves? Would a badly wrinkled sleeve prevent you from purchasing the card?

I am with you 100%. I cannot stand to look at any card with the crumpled and wrinkled baggie holding it in place. And when utilizing the "baggie" they never seem able to get the card centered or sitting straight within the slab. It's almost like a diamond-cut presentation within the slab.

Same goes for PSA's slabbed photos. I so much prefer the clean look that I will pass on any "baggied" example that looks sloppy, amateurish and/or asymmetrical. When done right, they look great.
