when it comes to topps/bowman cards from the 1950's,

has anyone here ever attempted to just collect cards that were low grade/beaters, instead of chasing high grade cards?

I ask, because, yes of course it would be great to collect only psa 8 or psa 9 cards from the 1950's, but for many of us, financially that isnt possible, so I was wondering if just focusing on low grade beaters/fillers would be the way to go for those that are collecting as a collector and not as an investor? more of a quantity vs quality (trying to get as many of the 1950's cards as possible in lower grade)
