Corners

[vintagebaseballcardguy]

Here's an example of what I am talking about. Card A (left) looks to have fairly even wear. Card B (right) has the lower left corner that appears more worn. Assuming the money was the same, which do you buy? Those of you who buy 8s, play along.

I'd probably go with the one on the left, however if the one on the right's other 3 corners were sharper than they are, I'd probably lean that direction.

Talk about pet peeves, looks to me like the lower left corner of the Kaline on the right has a little flap that's folded up. Back in the day when all my cards were raw and were taken in and out of sleeves more regularly, I ALWAYS made sure any little corner flaps were folded down they were less noticeable, and so the corners/borders remained uniform in color/surface. I've seen a few graded cards where these little corner flaps up, exposing brown cardboard and it drives me crazy!!!

I was hoping someone else would mention that corner being in the slab like that. The more I have looked, the more it bothers me. Why would PSA do that? Smooth it out, then slab it.
