			In the current Goodwin auction there is a T206 card labeled Authentic that looks VG-EX or better.  Excellent visual appeal.  I also saw an example above of a Lajoie portrait that looks EX+.   So what is the lesser evil, a little trim job or recoloring, or a beater with a crease running down the middle, or rounded corners (which I always avoid whenever possible)? In this scenario, it doesn't make any sense if you weigh the pro's and con's of the card objectively, that the beater carries a higher demand over a barely noticable altered card. Just doesn't make any sense to a cardboard collector to pick the beater. |
