Really nice card. Looks like there might be a wrinkle near the dot in St. Louis at the bottom. Might also be a wrinkle in his hat but it could just be a print line. Hard to tell. Great card in any case.

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts. The scratches near the name are on the case, not the card, and I really don't see any evidence of wrinkling or creasing. I do see one little brown fleck in the top border above his hat that Nicolo referred to. In any case, thrilled with the card. It's not like I intend to crack and resubmit or anything, because I have no intention of selling. Just a bit incredulous looking at the card and the grade and wondering what I was missing.

Best guess is the holder probably completely 'hides' a minor crease or wrinkle, because the grade makes absolutely no sense visually (the back seems perfect, too), and it got the .5 bump for being an exquisite example within the confines of the crease/wrinkle grade. But, even that doesn't make much sense, because then you have to wonder why it wasn't put into the 4.5 category due to its beauty??? Yowza!!
Awesome looking card!!!

Reminds me of my Bob Kuzava card. Can't be seen in the scans but there is a large wrinkle on the back of the card that does not come out on the front.
Not saying that's the case here but could be?
