The CJ Speaker was the first card I bought with writing on the front. At least they didn't try to erase Boston. The Cobb has a pinhole, which for some reason did not bother me at all. I like the whole card to be present. I dislike noticeable paper loss, but I will tolerate a little; I bought a 21 Exhibit Cobb with paper loss. I have contemplated buying graded altered, but haven't yet. Dog ears are fine; like someone said previously it's okay for old cards to have characteristics of old cards. However, I cannot deal with a crease through the face. That's a deal breaker. The Gehrig is the infamous Kevin Mize card that got him kicked off the forum. I haven't sold it, but it has slightly changed my thoughts about card conditions I'm willing to purchase. A year ago someone asked my opinion about why it came back Altered. My gut tells me the top edge is trimmed.
