Jerry Hrechka My thought is that lower grade cards of any cardboard trading card should vastly exceed higher grade cards, just due to neglect, wear and tear, & aging.
So what % of trading cards could be expected to survive in high grade under objective probability analysis? - Assuming total originality ( No trimming, doctoring etc.)
Don't even know if this kind of analysis is possible.
But my low grade beaters are very valuable to me. Love to hold them, look at them & trust me the sight of them never makes me want to vomit.
