So what is the lesser evil, a little trim job or recoloring, or a beater with a crease running down the middle, or rounded corners (which I always avoid whenever possible)? In this scenario, it doesn't make any sense if you weigh the pro's and con's of the card objectively, that the beater carries a higher demand over a barely noticable altered card.
Just doesn't make any sense to a cardboard collector to pick the beater.

Personally I would take the authentic card, most of the time if it looked better. But then again I am building a set for fun, not for financial gain.
