Thanks for all the responses, everyone! I sent pics of the card to a local PSA-Authorized dealer, and obviously he's seen his fair share of PSA grades. He claims that the wrinkle (only seen when the card is held at a certain angle) in the attached pic would warrant a 3. I trust his opinion, since I have nothing else to go off of at this point. He's willing to buy it from me for $850 (already spent $600 with PSA), and he said that other grading services would concur with the 3 - so I'd hate to dump more money into at this point, unless it was "guaranteed" (yeah, right!) to pay off.
That is unfortunate about the crease, but a learning lesson that you always have to look at cards under some light and tilt the card to make sure you aren't missing anything.
Because of the stellar eye appeal and condition minus the crease, I would either hold onto it (how bad do you need $1000?) and let it appreciate, or if you really want to sell it, send it to PWCC where they will get top dollar for it. Plus it will only cost you 12% in commission, which is less than what you would pay selling it yourself on eBay.

Looking at scans can be a waste of time.
Looking at that ^ scan shows the card was accurately graded.
PSA 3's go for $1,100.00 on ebay and with that card's eye appeal maybe more.
Why not sell it yourself?
Certainly could. Never sold anything on ebay before - probably worth a shot before committing to the local dealer.
If you are uncomfortable selling by yourself send to PWCC (NEVER Probstein) and let them do the work.
I would rather put the $300.00 in my pocket.
Hold until Magic documentary and then consign with PWCC
Any of you guys wanna buy it? lol
Try the BST forum.

Throw in the rest of the set and you probably get 2000 if not more? Do you have the single Bird and Magic cards too?
ON ITS WAY TO NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92658
This is the only card I have from the set.
