Roller marks..how much will it affect the PSA grade?

I have a few '69 Topps BB cards that have faint roller marks on them...not creases, but roller marks. How will they affect the grading?? Anybody ever submit any?

Thanks-
Claude

    I would think that PSA would treat them the same as cards with creases, and not give them a grade higher than a 5.

    The 69 OPC set is notorious for having those factory roller marks on several cards in the set.

    Kalinefan has the #1 1969 OPC set, and would be definitely be able to answer your question better than I would about this issue.

    Hope this helps...

    If they are on the back, and are faint, not much. If on the front, usually affects them by a grade.

    If they are not highly visible, they are NOT treated like wrinkles or creases. I have 8's in my collection with roller marks on the backs and 7's with them on the front.

    Totally agree. Depending on how bad the line is, I have been knocked down a grade and that's it. chaz
