Jason Lbut vintage tobacco is certainly different from post-war graded populations, in that the vast bulk of graded pre-war you will see is more likely to be in the VG-EX range. You shouldn't need to worry that targeting graded-only material will result in you only finding 7s!
Personally, I am not terribly astute at detecting trimming, etc, so I also target graded cards for more confidence that I am purchasing unaltered material.
Good luck with the search!
