opinions- is taking a crease out really altering?

Not so sure that creases come back once the cards are placed in graded holders. They are either gone completely or they are not. Unless you watch the card on day 1 of owning it and compare it to day 256 and see a change in the card, then what you are probably seeing is a card that someone attempted to remove the crease and they did a poor job.

Saying that you notice a crease is coming back would mean you would really have to have been there for the removal of the crease and to witness it coming back as the card sits prior to being sent in for grading.

I am not a paper specialist but once a card is creased the fibers are compromised. Not sure how much more damage, if any, is being done to the card when a crease is "removed".
