Show off your worst prewar beater

[Exhibitman]

The thread about the 28 Gehrig gave me an idea. Show us the card you own that is just plain fugly...but loved.

[Casey2296]

Blue Lajoie, love this card and would love an upgrade (hint, hint...)

Best $6 I ever spent

[pete zouras]

Elberfeld despite everything that has been done to this card, it still has nice corners.

Somehow my Honus is still intact!

Love this thread. If bored, please include what you think the selling price of a t206 Wagner in the same condition would sell for…

[benge610]

I'll put some, "E91A" spin to it.
Since I don't have enough $$$ to go for the E107 of each;
meet the RC"s for the rest of us, lol.

This is my worst tobacco card. A T210 Coyle, Ft Worth that most of the card is paper thin.

Another Big Train.

Well loved!!

I don't have a picture of him alone, but ol' Mordecai has seen better days.

(For that matter, so have Mel and Satch. The Ott card was cut in half, and then somebody glued it back together again.)

[bnorth]

Not prewar but this is one of my favorite Hank Aaron cards.

This Diamond Stars of Rogers Hornsby has a nice writeup on the back.

Brian, you have the most fantastic beater collection on this sub. There should be an award for that, maybe a dented, rusty, tin cup trophy with a missing handle.

Thanks Phil. Maybe someday I will track down this T206 Chase Holding Trophy card, or perhaps one that has even more damage in the trophy area.

Here's mine. I wouldn't trade or sell it for anything. Sure, there's other Fred Snodgrass t205's out there, but this one appealed to me. Somehow, it survived.

[realbigfatdog]

A tough Chase and my first T206.

My first pre war card bought at a show in nj c1982...and one of my most beaten!

[BuzzD]

I think this E106 competes, but doesn't win

[Bocabirdman]

Another F-ugly

I always like to trot out this T216 Kotton of Evers whenever the ugly show comes to town.

[Eggoman]

This looks WAY worse in hand! I'm not quite sure what is holding the side panels on...

[searching]

Might be rough but completed my set . Coincidently swapped 2 other beaters for this one. Thought it was fitting to mention due to the thread topic.

I got this one, and several other with similar, less life-threatening wounds, from Net54 member Paul S (who sadly hasn't posted in some time now), and he got them from the famous/infamous dealer Goody Goldfadden in the 1960's (if I remember correctly).

In my opinion, the midsection is one of the least important areas of the body to be depicted on a baseball card.

Flesh wound!

here is another although this could almost be scrap... (I think scrap and proof are used way too much in the hobby)
