One Final Informal Poll on Taking Out Creases

[Archive]

Posted By: Judge Dred (Fred)

Does it really matter if someone removes a crease? Does it matter if you never knew the crease existed? It's kind of like a bear farting in the woods... if no one heard it, did the bear fart? Does anyone care if a bear farts in the woods? I've got better things to do than to go to the woods and find a farting bear.

Somebody back in the 80s somebody showed me a card with a minor crease and then showed me the card again after the crease was removed. You couldn't tell the crease ever existed. It made me think a little bit about purchasing cards from that person but then again, if he didn't show me the before and after on the card I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference anyway.

Just because I don't care about crease removal doesn't mean I employ the methods of removing the crease(s). I have cards with creases and I like those cards as much as the creaseless cards.

Removing a crase isn't like rstoring a card by adding color and paper, it's getting rid of a wrinkle. IMO, there's no difference to removing a crease than erasing a light pencil mark that has left no indentations.

Just my opinion. Everyones entitled to them. It's like they say, "opinions are like a$$holes"... I have one or is it that I'm an a$$hole... wait, no that's not it... it's because "everybody has one"... that's it...
