Just hang onto the card long enough and even that less desirable flawed card will have some value. The below pictured Orange Border Lajoie card I got in a blind auction 20+ years ago came with no description of the staple holes, which are not readily noticed at first glance. I paid a decent amount at the time, and now it is worth a decent amount more, even with its fatal flaw.
The alternative story from my past is an E121 Ty Cobb described as VG that I bought (sans photos) for somewhere around $30 to $35. When it arrived it looked to me like Good at best. Out of principle I returned it.
Still don't have that E121 Cobb card, and the same card would probably cost me 10 to 15 times the amount now.
