Posted By: <b>nbrazil</b><p>between a really nice looking card in an SGC Authentic holder (likely trimmed) vs. the same card but really ugly and in an SGC 10 holder...which one would it be? Does knowing that the card is not unaltered weigh more than the aesthetics of the card? And let's assume the card is not really rare or really common. thanks in advance.

Posted By: <b>Eric</b><p>I'd go with the 10... obviously the Authentic will be more eye appealing but the thought that its been altered just doesn't sit well with me.<br /><br />I'd like it to be 100% originally, regardless of how it looked!

Posted By: <b>Bob Pomilla</b><p>I'd take the one with the "natural" alterations. Though it would really depend on how terrible it was.

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>I would say...Neither!<br />wait for a better opprtunity to buy a nice looking, unaltered version.<br />The only reason, by my own personal preference, to buy altered or cruddy looking cards is if they are true rarities.<br /><br />My only example of this in my own collection is the T207 Saier<br /><br />
