If you ever want to let that Plank go, let me know :D

I post this way too much, but it is easily my favorite beater and it fits the thread.

It's got about every technical flaw.

This is honestly the coolest card I've seen on this board. Don't you have the E107 Plank, Young and a few others too?

Thank you. ...and yes, I do have the others you mentioned as well.

Brian,
That Wagner is phenomenal!!! Here is my favorite "beater".

my favorite beater
 

:D

cost me a few shillings, but worth every little bit!!;)

Jim,

Your n167s make me drool every time I see them. Fantastic card!

Always liked this one:

Here's my faves!!
 

They fit the category :D

The creases on that Cobb must be more prominent than the scan is suggesting, eh? Is there something else I'm missing?

I'd collect SGC 10s like that all day...

Richard.

Richard,

Nope, the creases are exactly as shown on there. Thought about cracking it out and sending it back in, but I love the card and, like the Cincinnati Wagner, don't want to let it out of my sight :D

Give some consideration to ACA, then. Not only might you qualify for a grade bump, but if that's also an unreleased version of the card, they'll know!

Richard.

One of my WaJo "beaters."

I've shown this before, but its my favorite beater because it's likely one of the rarest cards I own. I was offered this card many years ago because I ain't too picky about condition and the dealer just couldn't find it in his heart to throw it away, but also couldn't find a buyer:D

Here is my Red Hindu Tannehill......................what, don't snicker, it really is a Red Hindu!

Lovely Day...

I know I'm fully in pre-war violation by a few years, but I remember finding ol' Lou here about 17 years ago around my 20th birthday. I really felt he was the gem of my collection and showed him off to the family like a prize horse. I was strictly a modern guy till he showed up and he changed everything for the better as far my collecting went. I still love him beat up and all and he's going nowhere anytime soon. :)

I carry this in my wallet for hahas. Most likely the most hideous card I've ever had. was part of a MUCH better lot not long back.:D

My favorite beater :
 

Fav Beater :

OK, you guys talked me into showing off my pride and joy beater in honor of the Red Sox collapse this season.

Great Ruth!

t227 and yep its a ruff one

That Ruth is awesome Mike! One hell of a beater.

Putting a card like the Ruth up is UNFAIR. its still a great card. Damn you..haha. :):)

AAaaaaaaaahhh ................ Y' Upp ............

Great cards everyone, ill add a favorite-

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n...20Cardonly.jpg

Ouch! I just got kicked in the face by that vintage 3D card! :)

Cool one, Scott. Didn't know that you collected Zeenuts also

Wow, those sure are nice beaters. Thanks all for sharing and participating, it has been fun to watch.

These three were sewn into something at some point. There is still some thread in the cards.

Thanks,

AndyH

T20Stitch!

Beater this
 

I have plenty of great beaters, but this one came to mind as a favorite:

Hard to pick just one, but I settled on this. My first T206, Polar Bear back.
And yes, the entire upper left corner is nearly off along the crease that edges into his head. if not for the tape it would probably have come off by now.

Also in the running - 69 Jackson rookie -my first card. and a T206 red cobb Carolina Brights.

I keep this one in my wallet as well.

Kidding!!! I didn't have $17k to pick it up at auction. A very cool card though. I'm loving this thread, keep it going!

Just when I thought I'd seen it all with respect to T206....

More Holland Creameries
 

Brad - These beaters go nicely with your Goslin! :)
Val

Beater - Howard Savannah
 

This is a beauty. And for sale if you want it. :)

For those with something against 3rd party grading...
 

I slabbed this to ensure it wouldn't fall apart...

Matt,

Here's another beater Chase for you. This one is a type 2 coupon and was a gift to me from another collector who thought my beater filled collection would be a good home for it. I guess that's a compliment on some level. :)

He actually gave me a handful of coupons just like this one. I've passed some along over the years to other like minded collectors (as gifts, just as I received them). I love this thread.

Best,

AndyH

Ha! Christmas is coming...I'll send you my address if you like! ;). Matt

Beaters
 

Most of my collection is beaters.....I love 'em

I love that Cobb. Nice "beater".

E98 Beaters
 

Yes they are beaters, but they were very tough for me to find even in these conditions! Love those Holland Cream cards and all of the T227s!

Great stuff guys! (Though I imagine to Brucii, these cards are like Kryptonite.)

e90-1

i just got back from the CSA show in Chantilly, and boy am I beat.

http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/e...d1/photo-6.jpg

fills a hole for now. Can probably get my $25 back later.

I love this card.... I WANT ONE

My fovorite common beater. And a shame of a beater-Teddy Ballgame

Ok -so here is Teddy

My first beater. Thank you to Tim!

http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m...rideSigned.jpg

Maybe not quite beaters in all cases. Sorry about adding other cards, but these are old scans. The Jackie is the true beater of the bunch. I threw in my old 1970 Cuda too for good measure. Sold it and found it listed on ebay (matched the VIN to old records) almost 10 years later. looking much worse!!!

My favorite beater and on some level card, is what I lovingly call Exorcist Bill Dahlen, due to the incredibly well-placed ink stain.

<a href="http://s1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff453/Idiottax/?action=view&amp;current=DahlenPersonal.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff453/Idiottax/DahlenPersonal.jpg" border="0" alt="Dahlen Personal"></a>

I'm a big fan of cards that have lived a good life. Funny story here is that the first time I saw the card, it was paired with a very rough Brown Hindu Harry Bay before I was certain I was going to collect the Southern Leaguers. I ended up as the despondent underbidder on the card, thinking I would never see Exorcist Bill Dahlen again.

Fortunately, the winner of the lot was primarily concerned with the Brown Hindu Bay and four weeks later, Exorcist Bill Dahlen has arrived at his final resting place in my collection.

my #1 beater - - I can't believe I actually bought this card - massive water damage!

Hey Andy, great story. I think mine must have originated from that collection as well. Unfortunatly mine cost me about $55 :(

Beaters are my favorites
 

I can't pick just one...

Wow, those take beater to a whole new level! Nice. Thanks for sharing.

post war beater
 

You sir define the term beater!!!

I'm sorry, but beaters, even the rare ones I buy as a temporary filler, begin to get to me after awhile, and then I become agitated that I bought and own it to the point that it finally has to go! And I just don't mean a sale, either. I mean go! Just not a beater guy, I guess.

But buy what youlike!

My new favorite.
