3- Eye appeal. I'd rather have an "A" card due to a piece of tape on the back then a chewed up beater graded a PSA 1 or SGC 10.

It depends entirely on the card for me. I have several "Authentic" cards in my collection. In most cases, they are so rare that I could not find another example if I wanted to.
