Never discount eye appeal. Many opt for it in preference to an example with a higher technical grade. Personally, I have purchased rare cards in poor condition with poor eye appeal just to finally have an example when one comes around after a great deal of searching, and find that at times, the condition disturbs me. On the other hand, I find I have no problems whatsoever with lower technical graded cards where the eye appeal is more than satisfactory.
Best to everyone,
