I think what we're calling a blemish is actually a bit of paper loss. Without the card in hand, it's hard to tell. If that is paper loss (and I believe it is), the card won't grade any higher than a 2. That's just my $.02

Man, that's a nice 2...no creases to be seen, just paper loss small on the back....

Thanks to everyone for the input. There really is no paper loss on the card. There is more layering than anything else. It appears that a thumbnail caused the damage and the layer is crumpled in an acordian fashion. I don't know if the layering can be effectively smoothed without causing paper loss. I also don't know if I am willing to spend the 400 to find out. It's just that the rest of the card looks so nice I find myself tempted to roll the dice.

Personally I like the one on eBay better, and it's cheaper!
Edited to add, I have no affiliation with the eBay seller, just giving my opinion...

I do not see that card getting anything more than a 3. Here is some VCP AVG:
1- $224.83 2- $283.89 2.5- $296.46 3- $372.74 I would offer $300 and see if you could meet in the middle. |

Thanks again for all of the advice and information. This is why I visit this site. Based on your input I think I will hold off and spend the extra money to get one in better condition that I will not second guess myself for. This one was part of a deal was depending on but as with all things you get what you pay for.

For a keystone card like this I think it is better to wait a few months, maybe spend a few bucks more, and get the right card....Then again, if that blemish doesn't bother you and you are happy with the price then by all means buy it...With big cards I am very finicky about getting the right card at the right price...

If I bought that card, I bet the excitement would wear off quickly and I would start looking for a replacement. I vote to skip it and look for a card without such a flaw.
