In card terminology I believe that is called "waffling". A card w/ an up & down surface has "waffled".

Thanks so far, what causes waffling? How would you sell the card in terms of condition? VGEX, EX?

Mainly dampness & then drying out--expansion & contraction. Has to do w/ the quality of paper used. Probably no more than VG/EX w/ mention of defect.

Any dealer who has set up in an outdoor market in humid weather, probably has seen more then a few of his cards start to waffle.

If I were selling I would call the card EX PLUS (or whatever you deem it to be) and mention it has a slight wavy surface that doesn't affect the eye appeal (again, if that's the true case)
I think that covers the overall quality very well & still points out the surface defect.

the guys are correct, it is 100% caused by moisture and then drying

Thanks everyone, it's a darn shame, this card is otherwise pretty nice--I am going to list it on BST and see what happens...
