Crease or paper loss?
Posted By: quan
I'm interested in hearing how other collectors feel about this. If you gotta live with one, which would you choose? Personally I'd rather have a well placed crease than a piece of the card missing, or scattered wrinkles versus spots of paper loss... |

Crease or paper loss?

but I would rather have an EXMT front and a little paper loss on the back than a G+ or VG- card with creases and rounding corners and a complete back. I think the price guides and collector prices in general were 180 degrees opposite to this view for a long time, but lately I have noticed tobacco and caramel (especially) cards with nice fronts and a little back damage really picking up steam and getting higher prices proportionately than lower grade cards with complete backs. |

In the case you propose, I'd also rather have the EXMT, but generally some VG cards are nice. |

The answer covered paper loss ON THE BACK, ROUNDED CORNERS, and what not. |

Crease or paper loss?

I agree with Julie on the fact that I prefer paper loss (only on the back of cards), but only to issue that have nothing of signifigance on the back, like a bio or stats. I hate T202's with back damage but don't mind them with center creases, whereas T206's I would take back damage over creases, especially on the face. |

I would take a card with nice corners, no creases, and a spot of paper loss on the BACK over a VG card with a complete back. |

I have some damm neat cards with some paper loss on the back. They still present well and look terrific. Creases usually show both front and back and look like hell. I steer clear of creased cards unless they are extremely rare cards. |
