PSA & wrinkles

Many of the PSA Mike Baker era 5's will have surface wrinkles. Not all of them, but it's possible for them to be there.

yeah understood now...what about 6s

I would say in general there won't be a surface wrinkle on a 6. Possibly on the back, not visible on the front, that would otherwise grade an 8 or 9 without the wrinkle.

right yet the psa website says a 6 can have a wrinkle....... so just because the psa website says something doesnt mean it happens much...that was my point about the 5s...i never seen one with a wrinkle so pretty rare..despite whatever it says on the psa website

top grade possible for surface wrinkle:

if on the front - 5
if on the back - 6

I'll take your word, and that of others in this thread. As a collector I would not be pleased if I purchased a 5 or 6 online to get the card in hand and find a wrinkle on the front or back. Assuming it was not noted in the description or visible in the scans. Personally I don't think such a card deserves more than a 4, but who am I to argue with PSA?

I've seen some wrinkles on 5's quite often, that's why i'm wary at buying psa 5s, sgc i have not seen this issue

I would much rather have a 5 that looked nmmt but had an almost undetectable wrinkle than one that was a 5 due to being off center or corner wear. Most of these were considered mint or near mint pre grading The wrinkles are usually only detectable in correct lighting at the right angle. and one of the main things to look for when someone freaks about there card being 2-3 grades lower than it looks to them.
