Default Outstanding Eye-Appeal on lower grade cards...
I have been picking up lower graded early 70's and back cards and am very satisfied with my picks and the satisfaction derived from collecting great looking cards. Anyone else collecting cards like those I described?

Buy the card, not the holder is a great motto to collect by.

You can find some real bargains especially if you ignore a little back damage as well.

If I can find a nice mid grade card with great eye appeal, I'll go for that every time.

That's my whole philosophy as well.

Default Hi Dave
Those are the types of cards that when I get them stay with me. You get all the beauty at a fraction of the cost.
