BEATER WAR!
 

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Let's face it, many of us wont shell out thousands for a psa 8 when we can get the same card raw, with creases and rounded corners for 1/10 that. Collecting low grade can be alot of fun too. Many people on the board claim to have the crappiest conditioned cards out there. I mean some real hooey. I want to see who's for real.<br /><br />Post scans of your worst beater(s). The cards must have at LEAST one catastrophic flaw to qualify for the thread. Heavy creasing, writing, and paper loss are a premium. Let's see who the REAL king of the beaters is <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1137042260.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Leon, your card qualifies. At first glance, you might think no, on account of that nice undisturbed image of Faber. But then you notice that the left 1/4 of the card is chewed away, and he's a shoo in.<br /><br />Jeff Sackmann, this thread beckons you <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> where are you?

Posted By: <b>Andy Cook</b><p>The nice thing about beaters is they are so distinctive. I recognize at least three cards people have posted in this thread that I have owned previously.

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Scott,<br /><br />Ive got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that I would never consider you an uber nerd for slabbing your beaters - in fact, I think the slabbing dramatically improves the look of even the worse beaters. The bad news is, by slabbing them you have automatically taken yourself out of the running for winning the beater war. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>zach</b><p><br />No offense but Jerry can not win, those scans aren't of his cards. I can post cards that are just as bad that I don't own too. I think Bryan wins with his Cobb. Also the e90-1 Plank posted earlier would come in second imo.
