Show off your worst prewar beater

[Exhibitman]

The thread about the 28 Gehrig gave me an idea. Show us the card you own that is just plain fugly...but loved.

[Casey2296]

Blue Lajoie, love this card and would love an upgrade (hint, hint...)

[Luke]

Best $6 I ever spent

[pete zouras]

Elberfeld despite everything that has been done to this card, it still has nice corners.

Still searching for the other half.

[benge610]

I'll put some, "E91A" spin to it.
Since I don't have enough $$$ to go for the E107 of each;
meet the RC"s for the rest of us, lol.

This is my worst tobacco card. A T210 Coyle, Ft Worth that most of the card is paper thin.

Somehow my Honus is still intact!

Love this thread. If bored, please include what you think the selling price of a t206 Wagner in the same condition would sell for…

Another Big Train.

Well loved!!

I don't have a picture of him alone, but ol' Mordecai has seen better days.

(For that matter, so have Mel and Satch. The Ott card was cut in half, and then somebody glued it back together again.)

[bnorth]

Not prewar but this is one of my favorite Hank Aaron cards.

Here's my entry.

[Exhibitman]

Now those are some great beaters...



And just to add a little variety:



1965 Crack Golazo Pele. From Argentina. Very HTF.

[brianp-beme]

I have plenty of bad boys. Here is one, a T213-2 of Bresnahan.

Now this is in my wheelhouse. And this is just what I have scanned.

Derek, it’s not Tinker. I don’t know who it is (I once did), but I am sure many on this board can help. I do know this is Cy Young

[Bocabirdman]

Most of you knew Rube was gonna show up..........

This Diamond Stars of Rogers Hornsby has a nice writeup on the back.

Brian, you have the most fantastic beater collection on this sub. There should be an award for that, maybe a dented, rusty, tin cup trophy with a missing handle.

A tough Chase and my first T206.

My first pre war card bought at a show in nj c1982...and one of my most beaten!

[BuzzD]

I think this E106 competes, but doesn't win

Thanks Phil. Maybe someday I will track down this T206 Chase Holding Trophy card, or perhaps one that has even more damage in the trophy area.

Here's mine. I wouldn't trade or sell it for anything. Sure, there's other Fred Snodgrass t205's out there, but this one appealed to me. Somehow, it survived.

[Leon]

This could probably go in the top 5 rarest card thread also. Have never seen another...

[t206blogcom]

[brianp-beme]

A headless Heinie Wagner, shortstop of Beantown Hollow.

Brian (An E125 American Caramel, in case the set designation escapes your head)

[jchcollins]

I looked in two different boxes and can't find it, so am losing motivation to find for a picture. But it's a '34 Goudey Hugh Critz. Just picture that card as beat up as some of the other things you've seen here and you have it. Multiple creases. Corners destroyed. The back with paper loss to where it's barely legible. I think the small picture of Lou Gehrig at the bottom displays better than the picture of Critz, so hey - that's a win for me.
