Another grading question

[EvilKing00]

Something I was wondering and would like others opinions:

Would you prefer a card thats graded "A" Authentic OR POOR 1

Let also take this into account that Authentic Looks nicer.

I would prefer the nicer looking "A" card but would love to hear what you guys think.

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.

There was a recent poll taken about this very topic. I encourage you to check it out:

Nice link ty

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

I'll take authentic depending upon the reason it was called authentic.

I'd go for eye appeal, so if an authentic card looks nicer, I'd take it over the 1. However, if they were roughly equal (e.g., slightly trimmed Authentic vs pinhole 1), I'd pick the number grade.
