Mark from cellophane on card PSA question

I recently bought three of the Toy’s r us holo charmander xy evolutions promo cards that were still in the cellophane wrapper.

Upon opening them I discovered that each one had a mark down the length of the card from where they laid on the seal (or flap or whatever its called) that’s the back portion of the wrapping.

It’s not an indent, nor is it a scuff I dont believe, I’d think it would have had to jostle around alot in there to get scuffed, which it couldn’t cause they are in there tight. I tried rubbing it off but it doesn’t come off. I’m not sure what exactly it is but its definitely noticeable. Has anyone ever had a similar occurance with a card that came out of cellophane? I know the shadowless mewtwo from the theme decks have an issue from the cellophane, is this the same type of deal? I’ve never seen a cellowrap damaged mewtwo. But anyway, has anyone ever graded something like this before? How bad did it knock it? Thanks!

The damaged shadowless cards from the theme decks get either an “ST” Stain qualifier grade or come back as PSA 5 or PSA 6. Totally depends on the grader and if they choose to recognize as a stain or damage. The Stain on those are due to the glue, but I do not think this is the case with yours. It seems like it is straight damage, so it would be hurt if graded, but I’m not sure how badly. I do not think it will get a qualifier of any kind though I think.
