Looks like a gum crease from this shot.

If this feature is visible from the front of the stamp, it's likely a paper crease.

Gum bend or gum crease? (Agree with revcollector) Definitely large enough to bring value down and get listed in certificate?

Crease is visible when lit from behind. Hard to tell if you can see anything when viewing only from the front.

For sure it would lower the value some.

The angle of the lighting (from almost directly above) is favorable for the seller. It is hard to see the crease; only the right side of the crease is visible to me. If the lighting were from a lower angle, I'm pretty sure it would be much more visible.

Try it in watermark fluid. If the crease shows in that, it's clearly a paper crease and a definite fault. Otherwise, gum creases are not uncommon on these.

Nope. I let it go.
But I saw suspicious bidding on this lot and backed out...
