Good Topic.

PSA 1 Poor/Fair is inadequate. Fair as a grade should be broken out as SGC does in with their SGC20 grade designation.

Poor however is another matter.
There is Poor
Really Poor
Downright Miserable
Run over by a Front End Loader

Poor can be a card with some endearing qualities but technically not up to Fair standards. Then there are Poor cards with marks, writing, tears, paper loss, small pieces missing, image obliterated, that still get holdered. It seems that "Authentic" only applies to cards that are undersized (trimmed) or otherwise altered.

Just goes to show how buying on the low end, even graded cards, one needs to always buy the card.
