Brent states he sees the crease was pressed out at 1:06 in the video. Nobody can speak for PSA but the fact that it is in a holder implies they let it by, if we assume Brent knows what he is looking at. Sure PSA graders all know what a partially pressed out crease looks like because most advanced collectors do as well. Sounds like PSA has a sliding scale on rejecting cards based on the severity of the work.

Do pressed out wrinkles/ creases sometimes " reappear" ?

Yes

They press comics all the time and no one seems to care. Or cards that get soaked.

Has anyone brought this up with PSA?
I am very curious because I have also seen a T206 card that once had a visible crease show up in a different slab without a crease. However it’s worth noting the grade stayed the same, different cert number.

In the example I’ve seen the crease was completely void and the card looked legitimately clean.

I’d like to hear from the grading source about this subject

You should probably email them because you will not receive an answer here.

I called PSA customer service and got the reference to their website resources: https://www.psacard.com/resources/gr...andards/#cards

Under the No Grade definitions drop down you’ll see the entire list of probable cause items that would result in a N-# flip return to submitter. You can always ask for an authentic or authentic-altered flip.

Pressing creases falls under N-5 and would result in no numerical grade.

So I think that answers the question. No need for additional emails to Joe Orlando
