I can overlook one pinhole, a couple of creases and a spot of paper loss...writing is the killer for me.

If a card is fake, that's a deal-breaker for me.

Unless it's VERY rare trimming is a stopper I also hate creases through the head esp. on T206 portraits.

Deal breakers are handwriting, major creases, large paper loss, and pinholes.

I look for Pre World War II cards with high numerical grades accompanied with the (MC) or (OC) qualifiers.

For a scarce card, I can see the beauty in it pretty much no matter what. If the card isn't scarce: clipped corners, writing on front, and large spots of paper loss bug me the most.

There are about 200 guys in OBC who have never met a card they wouldn't put in their binders...........

Default Deal Breakers

Bad centering on the front of the card, or creases/paper loss on the player's face.

I can deal with paper loss, writing, creases, pinholes, staining, etc., but off-center and trimmed cards are a deal breaker for me.

I can deal with most anything from creases to pinholes to even some writing but the killer to me is clipped corners, I just hate the way they look.

they have to have a presentable front of the card, minimal paper loss on the back is acceptable
