Another food for thought, went hunting and noticed every basic set from 56 and up , 2016 especially all the cards are not neccasarily creased , but warped ! Slopeing upward especially those red Mattel wal Mart cases they put out Mania week! I have a friend Works for Wal-Mart and target and they said that when a set is re released or its the 2 to 3rd shipment , its not their delivery truck but Mattel just shipped warped cards. They said Mattel is in a trial with the less thick cardboard for packaging and may go back to the thicker cards!

Near mint or mint if your collecting moc! With how the are distrubuted, they are harder to come by of rare! Like neville b.a.f., every single one is creased only on front or vice versa, or very warped

I'm a MOC collector, but have decided to not be so fussy when it comes to the carding... as long as it looks decent overall and the plastic/bubble isn't dented, that will be fine. Some cards are already creased or damaged, straight out the shipping/Mattel box - so often there's not much choice (Battlepacks especially can be a pain to find MOC!).

I think it is more of how they are packed in cases now and how employees grab the from the top of the cards when stocking them.

Id call your friend out.
Its usually the man handling of the walmart warehouse or actual store workers.
And theres no way a store employee knows anything about future packaging

My good friend who is a avid , has over 8000 figures , and heard it str8 from mattel themselves. He collects em above and beyond trust me no reason to pula that out of his asus. He has actually called mattel becuse of his store constantly getting napred baileys and shipped his back and they sent him a mint mint one back. So i know he not bsin !
