The "technical" aspect of creasing in grading....

That was a pretty nice "gift" from SGC, on the E97 Cy Young. If submitted today, I'd be surprised to see it grade that high. Super nice card, but also a pretty lenient grade, IMO.

Yeah, I was surprised. I've seen other cards graded VG with a crease, but they usually have nicer corners.

Had it done in person at a show, along with a few really easy ones. My SL blankbacks, and CB Cobb which were obviously A for the blanks and a 10 for Cobb. They did charge a bit more for Cobb and Young since the cards were better than their dollar limit.

I sort of suspect the bump was partly because I didn't balk at the extra, and every card in the small batch was really easy.

i get the eye appeal and good crease/bad crease examples. I appreciate everyone sharing.

to my eye, this Mantle falls into the good crease category. Its actually more of a wrinkle on the lower left (facing) I think the card presents rather nicely...and I would have a hard time selling it for "1" or "2" money based on that particular crease and crease position
