1) A nice looking 1 is a very collectable card.

2) A 1 with multiple creases is ugly and needs to be upgraded.

3) An AUTH that looks nice because it was trimmed is not a valid example, unless it's an extremely rare and expensive card.

That doesn't answer your question exactly but is in the ballpark.

I think a lot of people, me included, would take a very nice EXMT-NRMT looking card that is slightly trimmed in an AUT holder over a bicycle spoke card in a one holder. (so that would be D to Bob's question)

I know they would. I meant that's the way I would collect if I were buying vintage cards. Some guys love beaters and trimmed cards and I didn't want to create the impression that I was an ultra elitist.

You forgot the other option,

5.) Take a trimmed card that says "8" or "9" on the holder

Not a valid example? Ouch! That's rough, Barry.

I know this will be the minority, but I'd rather just put a poor card in an authentic holder even if it hasn't been altered. I just feel that Auth sounds better than poor. Just my take. Generally if it's going to grade below vg, I just tell SGC to put the card in an Auth. holder.

Very slight trim is ok with me also in authentic holder if nice looking. I'm ok with low grade cards also.

I've never been a fan of trimmed cards. Of course they all look good- they were trimmed to fool people. I know some collectors do like them, and that's fine.

I'm not a fan of them either, both the one's I know I have
and the one's I don't. The trouble with 10s/1s is they aren't
created equal. Rather have a slight trim than a rag.

Default A vs 10/1
There's some black paper spots from a notebook on the back that accounts for the A, but the 10 is the definition of a beater. I'm happier having the A. I'd rather have a numerical grade like most, but I'd rather have a beautiful image than a 10 if I have a hard time seeing the image.
