Mostly I agree with this statement. However, the rightg cards in top condition can still be awesome. What I don't care for is high grade pre-war with small borders.

This could be near mint in the wrong persons hands.

I've seen gem mint T206 cards and they just look.....wrong. Almost fake to me. Obviously I don't collect for an investment or I might feel different, but I would be very happy with a large group of beater T206 cards than one perfect mint card.

The same goes with later R cards. They just seem weird to me to have sharp corners.

Am I alone on this?
