That's one possible theory. I also suspect that it's a tactic used by people who want to purchase something but can't buy it right away, especially with lay-away a thing of the past. If I'm a loose figure collector, I can bend the card, make it less desirable to other collectors and more importantly scalpers, and come back later with a better chance of finding it again. Not my method though, I just pee on what I want. Then I set the shelf on fire once I've gotten my fill.
This could also just be an unfortunate accident. I suspect that many of the "small bends in corners" or "slight bubble markings" are the result of a card being dropped on tile during the daily shelf life at a store. Granted this looks kinda deliberate but it is just cardboard. For example, I received a substandard Zartan from BBTS one time that featured the printed on color change logo, no color change neck, and a nice u-turn half-way down the card. I'm pretty sure Joel and his staff didn't bend it intentionally, but why it had to be
that
figure among the dozen or so that came in my order...
