This is especially common in white and light colored areas. White is the absence of color. So you never see "breaks color" with a crease in white areas. Sometimes creases noted in the graders notes do break color - but the graders don't describe it - only note the crease. If you are not actually looking at the book but only the graders notes, you need to wait and look at the book. Pressing can only make something flat. It cannot fix damaged paper, even if the crease doesn't break color. Damaged paper will still be visible. Just flat. catch21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think that the term "CREASING" implies that it's a color-breaking flaw. Otherwise, individual creases are normally noted as such: "CREASE TOP-LEFT CORNER" (press-able) "CREASE TOP-LEFT CORNER BREAKS COLOR" (not press-able) Tony S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a great deal on a CGC 6.0 that had JUST been slabbed a month ago, and noticed some creases on the back cover. The book had been pressed, so I assume the original owner had hoped those creases would have been fixed and resulted in a hgher grade.. Unfortunately the creases are still visible, and I got a slabbed book for $25! Which is less than he paid to have it pressed/graded!
