Collector grade just means a lower conditioned card to me...
Sometimes collector grade is all there is... You take what you can when there is 1 known

Ha. I think I saw beer can shoes used in a 60s novel about down and out hobos riding the rails.

Obvious Beater Card?

Old Baseball Cards. I groups of collectors who generally collect for fun, not profit. The bulk of the group are working on 1950-70s sets in raw lower grade condition. We all post are wantlists and then send/receive RAOK (random acts of kindness), cards from the wantlist that are sent unsolicited without expectation of return; although payback usually occurs, often from someone else. :-)

I don't care what terms they use. I don't even care if they put flames in the title with "SO FIRE!!! INVEST!!!" next to it. I only care about the card and the price.

w575-2
 
On it's way to me from a trusted board member. I think this can qualify as collector grade.

Good ole Corn on the Cobb...

Check title.

Early in my collecting days Lew Lipset told me someone asked him to authenticate a signature on one of these cards :). He chuckled.,
Unfortunately I hadn't collected long enough to know what he was talking about .

As Leon alluded to, this card is from the W575-2 set. A moniker that has been associated with the set as well is "Autograph on Shoulder".
