Another grading question

[SushiX37]

I'd want a grade, even if it's a 1

I'll take a nice looking "A" over a mangled 1 every time....but that's just me. Most 1's are just so ugly. And the value seems to be about the same.

Here is a perfect example: Lets say the prices of the cards were the same. (although its an extreme example)

Well the Cycle back introduces a new thing when it comes to the t205 Matty, but if I were to pretend that they were both Piedmont backs it is still the 1 (Especially since the A has a crease and is obviously altered) assuming the same price. If I had no chance at a card other than an A, then I would consider it.

I'd rather have the nicer "A" than the falling apart '1'. Just my two cents.

When it comes to A's and 1's, you're really just picking your poison when it comes to damage...I think to an extent, the choice really comes down to whether you want your beaters to be mistreated or trimmed.. If I had to choose, without cost being a factor, I'd take the nice looking trimmed card any day over an absolute beater... However, I'm not one to be picky, trimmed or beat to hell, if the price is right, I'm happy..
