Maybe consider adding a poll - it’s a great question
While it ultimately depends on the two specific examples, I would almost always take the numerically graded card over the A. The upside to the A is you can crack it out, resubmit to PSA, wait 9 months, and probably get it back in a numerical graded slab… Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 11-21-2023 at 05:01 AM.

How about a 1 that is technically a 1 but has a great front but some glue on the back?
This is my fave 1 and probably will always be!

Depends on the look!
I am happy to go with an A or a 1, if it allows me to (affordably) obtain a card with decent eye appeal.

Never an A, too hard to sell down the road.

A’s are great for your PC as they can look like a 3-5 and can present much better than a poor graded card. However for resale, numerical grades may sell for a higher price. 52 Topps Mick is an exception, given As tend to go for more than 1s, as is all about the striking eye appeal. So, it really depends on the card and your collecting goals.

I like the beaters, as long as there isn't paperloss on the front, over an A.

I would take the beater 1 every day of the week no matter the card. My collection criteria is to try to stay away from cards that show intentional manmade alterations. I’m good with corner wear, wrinkles, creasing - things that could happen over time. But I avoid writing, hole punching, and especially trimming.

The alteration is all I would see. Gimme the beater card instead.

I personally prefer eye appeal and centering first
If you are more a collector go for the eye appeal If you are more a flipper/investor go numbered Where possible I would try waiting to get a better looking 1 then a beater 1 or an alterted authentic It also depends on rarity/availability as I would not pass up a beater card if it is something I wanted and it is rare and do not know when I might find another better looking one.
