Posted By: <b>Little Lee</b><p>Hi All,<br /><br /> I noticed that a lot of you Gents are building you sets with Mid to Low grade cards.<br /><br /> My question is, what do you look for in appearance of the card in these grades, both on the front and on the back of the card.<br /><br />Thanks, Little Lee<br><br> "Smith's Law, Murphy was and optimist"<br />"He with the most cards gets a second chance at life"

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>I tend to buy most prewar cards in the 3-5 range. I generally look for a pleasing image, good centering, preferably no creases (or very small ones), and decent corners (though they will be somewhat rounded in a 3/4). Ive posted some recent t206's that Ive purchased (the Young was just won yesterday so the scan is from the listing). With newer cards (ie 50's and 60's) I look for 5-7 range and I will trade off centering for better corners - as in the Aaron. You can find some very good looking cards in this range. :<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1103092528.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1103092698.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1103093132.JPG">
