Michael Craft Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 I have several older cards that are in great condition that I want to get graded, my only concern is that they have a slight bow to them from sitting in set boxes for years. Will this affect the grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oluckydayo Posted June 27, 2022 Report Share Posted June 27, 2022 Bowing or a slight curve to the card make no difference as long as there is no crease or damage to the card surface as a result. Put them in a sleeve and top loader for a little while and they'll begin to straighten out a bit. DeeFair23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, doing the above might cause a crease or ripple to form on the card, depending on how old the card is and the type of surface/inks used.
