"A" graded cards...."A" for Affordable and Awesome (sometimes)....Show us your A's

I will buy OJ's like this from anyone who doesn't like the A grade!

I'm in the minority, but A is "avoid" for me. Especially since it's just post-war stuff.

Even though an A card is obviously authentic, knowing that it's been intentionally altered really takes away from that genuine, vintage feel of it. I know that isn't the most logical line of reasoning, but this is a rare time when I'm ok with not being quite rational

So from a collecting standpoint, I'd prefer a grade 1 to an 10-looking A every time.

Pretty sure a lot of 1s-3s can be trimmed real nice to make great As. I guess you pay for the work when you see As go for more than 1s and 2s but its not secret work .

I have some 'A' graded cards, but I have spent my collecting life acquiring a lot in that condition before they had a chance to shuffle off to plastic clampdown land.

Love 'A' cards.....reckon they just have more stories to tell....

I'm just an old Cub collector who doesn't deep pockets so A cards don't bother me at all.
