With desirable Pre-War cards and rare Pre 1960 Odd Balls, I have found that real low grade (rough but not repulsive) cards sell at a higher percentage of book (for condition) than high grade cards (I don't deal with graded cards, so I'm not talking about PSA 10 or crap like that). Most collectors would love to own a Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb. While few collectors can afford a $2,000 or even $500 Ruth, they join the hunt when a low grade example comes up. Same rules go for T206s. Few average collectors are going to pay book for an ExMt common, but will pay above book for decent looking grade Good or Fair example.
