Does it matter if a card is curled when grading?

Hey Guys,

Going through a vending box of '83 Topps for submission. The cards are all curled, but in great condition. Will that bring grading down?

IIRC, no impact on grade as long as it doesn't cause a wrinkle when flattened.

vending curl is fine, they flatten out in the card saver a little bit and get evaluated the same once removed.

warped cards or cards with edge bends will get downgraded. also beware the dreaded surface ripples.

How about curls from soaking?
