What's worse than a "beater"?
 

What's worse is finding out that your "beaters" aren't even authentic...which was the case with 16 of the 27 vintage cards I just sent in to Beckett Grading. This is a bummer :(. They just mark them "Questionable Authenticity" with no explaination. That was my question, that's why I sent them in. Does this mean that they are fake for sure? Any ideas?
Thanks.

high likelihood they r fake.

all technically poor condition....

Sadly, my worst card :(

Fun thread worthy of a bump. Here's my contribution:

Awesome! Love it!

Should've posted this during Shark Week. Would've been a great tribute to the MINI WHITE SHARK!

The "beater-est" card in my collection, and one of my favorites! Believe this to be a 1/1.

Just a heads up... If you ever want to get the card graded, I noticed a few small flecks of colour loss just above Ty's cap that may affect the grade. :D

Absolutely love the character the rips and tears give this card.

I could waste my day scanning...
 

...or I can just post pre-existing scans from the wide world of beat-up.

Pretty beat

I recognize that Marquad Brian!

Glad it has the place of honor in your collection that it deserves!

When I was 12 - me and ol' Red Ryder did a job on this Pendleton. Side note, I am looking for a PSA 8 to replace it.

Flesh wound.

I mean, if any set needed a DiMaggio, it's this one.

A Beater of the Team that Could Not be Beat
 

Though it isn't a card, but instead a photo, here is my favorite "beater."
The photograph in question is an exhibit photo of the 1912 Red Sox at
Spring Training in Hot Springs on the eve of their championship season.
The backing is almost nonexistent and photo torn, but the image the
photographer captures is still so crisp and clear you feel like you are there!

Sebastian,
Once again, you have a card I've fallen for. Gotta let me know if you want to sell that beater Ruth!

Beaters? Did someone say beaters? I give you my entire T206 and t205 collection:
