I think every collector has their peeves, based on the prices, centering is a greater concern than a heavy crease.

For lower grade cards , I do find centered cards with fairly intact corners but possessing light creasing/surface wear much more appealing than a card that is o/c, w/rounded corners, has staining and/or has heavy creasing.

I missed seeing that one, maybe someone can find the link to it, as I cant find it.
BTW...did you guys see the listing on Ebay for 3 1952 Mantle rookies!!!!
for 120k
