I was only partially kidding about it being a future victim of fraud. But I'd bet it would be a top candidate based on the premium centering.

Also, it might just be a reflection of the holder or camera, but the back looks a bit wonky on my screen with a curve of lighter paper. If there are stains or even minor paper loss on the back, that too could tank the grade. Of course, that's the kind of card I like personally, as 95% of the time I'm looking at the front. And that front is a beauty.

Yeah, nice card, terrible photographer! Here we go again… I just can’t find the wrinkles or creases - but they must be there!

I’ll try that link idea that was suggested… thx again all

Maybe try looking at it under a black light. Sometimes I see wrinkles with them.

There was this video posted recently that showed portions of the SGC (I believe) grading process, and by far the most revelatory thing to me was this machine they used to spot flaws. It seemed to be an x-ray/black light hybrid sort of thing which instantly picked up unseen defects like tiny wrinkles and whatnot. Instantly. My thought is if your Teddy was inserted into it, a nearly undetectable wrinkle would appear.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I suppose it's a good thing that people aren't equipped with x-ray/black light hybrid sort of eyes. We'd never be satisfied with anything we looked at. "Gee, honey. You're looking particularly wrinkly this evening. Please pass the imperfect dinner rolls."
