Question: why not buy authentic over low grades?

I'd rather have a hole in my card than a hole in my binder.

One thing to remember is that a lot of collectors are on tight or normal budgets, and can't afford a PSA6 T206 Ty Cobb. People who drop $5,000 on a card at Legendary or Memory Lane auction are in the small minority in the hobby. At resale, you may find there's good demand for 'big name' cards that are nice looking but in low grade.

I once had some SUPER low grade Goudeys, including Ruth and Gehrig. Those raw 'poor minus' Gehrigs and Ruths sold like hot cakes. I deduced the bidders likely were people who always had always wanted a Goudey Ruth or Gehrig but couldn't afford them in Ex or ExMt.
