Baseball Card with pin hole
 

Posted By: <b>Richard</b><p>Greetings fellow collectors, I am considering purchasing a 1915 Crackerjack card that has a small pin hole in the middle of the top border. Would like to get the opinion of my fellow collectors if this is considered a very serious defect in a vintage Baseball card before I shell out any $.<br />Any opinions, comments or suggestions would be appreciated.<br />Thank You,<br />

Posted By: <b>andy becker</b><p>hi. welcome. a pinhole lowers the technical grade to poor....so the value is lower. but you can pick up some very nice cards with pinholes for a fraction of what the same card without the hole would cost.

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>I have several cards with staple holes, pinholes, and worse. Each is a keeper. So to me, the only thing that counts is how much I like the card.<br /><br />Certainly not what some independent organization determines is appropriate to use for a grading standard. A pinhole in the border to me is insignificant. Because the borders are designed to protect the picture surface, and this is an example of them performing their function.
