Default Question: why not buy authentic over low grades?

Hi all. So if you don't care about registries, want to display your cards, and can't afford highly graded ones, why not just buy ones graded authentic? As I am researching what cards I want, I am finding that authentic cards can be substantially cheaper and better looking than ones graded 1-3 (obviously this isn't true for all cases) or somewhere thereabouts. Why can they be so much cheaper? Why not buy authentic in these situations? Does the fact that the card is trimmed really reduce the aesthetic and sentimentality for people? Am I missing something?

Happy holidays and thanks for your insights.
