Always been one of my favorite cards, even with the big crease down the middle.

I can accept almost all of the defects listed for the right card except alterations of any kind.

To be clear, I do keep some beaters for fun. But they were all either found on the street or behind a wall or otherwise discovered. I guess technically they are in my "collection" because I own them and love them as well. So I guess I am not as much a condition snob as I thought.

For the right price I am good with most anything except writing or 'art work' on the card, especially if it is rare or high value

Tape is the only deal breaker. The other things I dislike but am willing to tolerate. But I won't buy a card with tape residue under pretty much any circumstances.

Strangely, glue residue doesn't have the same effect on me. I've got plenty of cards that were removed from scrapbooks, and I don't care about that. But my interest in a card drops to zero when I see tape marks.

I would not collect anything that is ungraded. That's just me.

Here is my Diamond Stars Rogers Hornsby. I have condition conditions, but I still haven't figured out what they are.

Default Largely depends on the card

Cards that are rare or obscure, I am a lot more forgiving/tolerant of a whole range of condition flaws.

Now if we are talking cards that are readily available - Centering and surface are my top 2 "demands" Clean crease free surface, good photo registration and great centering. I'll take touched even lightly worn corners all day.

I think that's the very rare card of the Ghost of Rogers Hornsby.
