This Gehrig worth a re-grade bump?

At least in the written grading standards it would seem that a back crease (fairly long but faint and toward the corner) would allow a VG-Ex. Or is that wrong?

You're correct. I think that depending on the grader's "mood", you would probably get a 3 on one day, a 3.5 on another, and a 4 on another. Seriously, if you're planning on re-selling it, I would unslab it, and send it to PSA. The worst that can happen is you'll get another 3, but it will be in a PSA holder, so you'll probably get more money for it...

Whatever you decide, remember! Buy the holder, not the card.

Exactly. Especially since seller's can photoshop what the card actually looks like once it's inside the holder. Always buy the holder and never the card...
