I usually have to buy 10 or more at one swoop to get them at $10-12...in other words, you're spending a $100 bill with a dealer on what they consider marginal inventory. I am forgiving on back damage. I don't like slabbed cards and don't have any concerns about that. Most things I buy would probably only be a 1 but there are nice looking 1s and ugly 1s. You also usually have to find a dealer who has had a relatively slow show...
All depends on what you're looking for. The reality is that if you buy $10-$15 Tcards, they will never have a dramatic rise in value, but they will probably also never go down much.
Stars and minor HOFers and (I suspect) Southern Leaguers can be had in the $35-40 range, depending on the degree of their trangressions. I picked up both a Joss and a Crawford in that range here.
