I look for ungraded cards. I'll start by looking for corners that are rather sharp ( this is foremost for me ), are there any defects in the card, then centering. Lastly I'll look at price, is it reasonable or a good deal. For graded cards, I'll look at 3's or 4's that I consider undergraded and follow the same criteria. I've been able to find nice cards ( with minor flaws ) at great prices using this approach. I collect for fun, and have no intention of selling my cards so I'm not as picky as an investor or one collecting " high grade " cards. I too buy the card not the holder. I've bought the holder once, a 1952 Topps PSA 9oc at what I consider a good price. Only two cards with this grade, none higher. If there was a 9 w/o qualifiers, I would have passed. I have read your post before Bill, and you seem fairly savvy. I'm sure I'm not sharing anything new to you. I'll be anxious to see what others look for, as we all vary in criteria.
