Posted By: <b>nbrazil</b><p>I'm a collector of low graded but high eye appeal cards. I know a few board members here who also follow such a collecting strategy.<br /><br />So, show me your best low grade (3 or below), but high eye appeal cards...and the culprit that put the card in a low grade slab! Josh K...i'm expecting something good from you...<br /><br />Here's one of mine:<br /><br /><img src="http://geocities.com/nbbgmad/johnson.jpg"><br /><br />The culprit<br /><br /><img src="http://geocities.com/nbbgmad/johnsonback.jpg">

Posted By: <b>steve yawitz</b><p>I don't know if this card counts since it's not graded - and I'm not even sure if it would grade because of the tape remnants/residue - but it's probably my best example of damage on the reverse actually being responsible for a well-preserved obverse:<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/yawiesbaseballcards/19091911t206/T206%20Mattern.jpg"> <br /><br />As far as slabbed cards go, I busted this one out of an SGC 20 holder:<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/yawiesbaseballcards/1910e93standardcaramel/E93%20Jennings.jpg"><br /><br />And this one's still in a PSA 2 slab. Even without the paper loss on back, it would probably still be a 2 - possibly a weak 3 - because of the crease on front, but I think it's a great-looking card for the grade:<br /><br /><img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/yawie99/yawiesbaseballcards/1910e93standardcaramel/E93%20Mathewson.jpg"><br /><br /><br><br><a href="http://imageevent.com/yawie99" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/yawie99</a>

No creases, wrinkles, paperloss, or writing. May be a very slight stain on the reverse top. Thinking about cracking it out.<br /><br />Good topic.<br /><br />Bill<br><br>My personal collection - <a href="http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f176/fkm_bky/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f176/fkm_bky/</a>
