I usually stick with cards grade in the 1-4 range due to that darn budget problem. I mainly buy '50s and '60s Topps cards which are pretty plentiful so I usually can sit back and wait for a card with a low technical grade, but above average eye appeal to pop up. There are plenty of cards that look like a PSA 5, but got graded a PSA 3 because of a small wrinkle or some kind of minor defect. My best advice would be just to buy the card you like at the price you are comfortable and don't worry about the number on the label.
