Crease Question

I feel like I see this kind of crease on many silver age books. I don’t see it as much on Bronze Age and newer? What’s causes it? It’s less of a crunch and more just a uniform colorbreaking line. It seems to always be in the top left.

This is caused by the cover overlapping the pages. Over time and handling the cover is sort of pressed down , more of a bend than a crease. It shows up even more on the reading edges in my experience.
