With prewar cards I don't want "mint"
Maybe I'm an exception, but I collect a good bit of pre war cards and I truly prefer my cards like T206 or Goudey to have rounded corners and wear.
I've seen gem mint T206 cards and they just look.....wrong. Almost fake to me. Obviously I don't collect for an investment or I might feel different, but I would be very happy with a large group of beater T206 cards than one perfect mint card.
The same goes with later R cards. They just seem weird to me to have sharp corners.
Am I alone on this?
