This 1954 Willie Mays is a card that I've always thought had a lot of character. I've even thought about sending for grading to give the graders a laugh. By the way, I paid $1.00 for it!

Dan,

Those are horrible looking Wagners.

I have no idea why you would keep them in your collection.

I would help you rid yourself of those ugly things if you wanted me to.
Thats the kind of friend I am.

Regards,
Joe

It would of been a lot easier decision, if it were "most valuable card that IS NOT beat up."

Maybe not "valuable", but it is a beater and I would never part with it.

Kevin - that is especially hilarious coming from you. I laughed out loud when I read it.

writing on the front and back of this card.... just disgusting.

I think I have had this card for over 20 years. It doesn't get any better with age.

Not the prettiest, but I like it!

Glad to back collecting again after an 11 month hiatus and fire sale of most of my collection.

It's not my most valuable beater, but it's my favorite (and a toughie):

Gotta few D311's that have been beaten like a redheaded stepchild, but I'll go with this fellow.

Not a fan of the PSA float around in a baggy presentation. Clyde doesn't dig being crooked.

Not my most valuable, nor even close to my most beat up. But a winning combination of both--it makes most of the cards posted on this thread look like pretty boys.

Not extremely valuable but somewhat hard to find (V96, Canadian Butterfinger/OPC). I picked up Gomez and Dickey (similar condition) for a dollar each.
