Can a paper printed chessboard effect camera calibration?

In calibrating my camera, I used a paper printed chessboard. I guess because of the nature of the paper, it is not "perfect" since there will be some crumples/wrinkles. In 15 images that I have used, below are 3 of the examples of the original image, and its undistorted version.

Original image 1 Undistorted image 1

Original image 2 Undistorted image 2

Original image 3 Undistorted image 3

As you can see, there are some wrinkles at the paper (especially at the edge). Can this somehow greatly affects the camera matrix and distortion coefficients that will be calculated, or I am just being overly paranoid here?

Thanks.
