If that's your definition of a beater then I'm going to have to ask you to leave this thread.

How about this T206 Flick with a nail hole and a missing chunk out of its side:



...or my signed M101-2 of Ira Thomas, which is falling apart at the bottom?

Here's a T206 Lenox Cobb for you, Ricky. Make sure to read all 300 posts. The seller will tell you it's worth $50,000 or so and he may offer to fight you (you'll have to pay his airfare), but you'll work something out eventually.

Love this forum.

Beaters tell a story.
Back when one was young, they didn't care about condition. They just wanted the card. You would trade a beeater Mays for 50 nm cards.
The reasons for owning a beater are multiple.

A) often its a filler in trying to complete a set
B) for its own charm
C) its a cheap way to own a hard to buy card
D) I collect a beater typeset- punch holes, tears, scuffs, markings etc. are all different types.
E) They're funny or entertaining
D) There is a story to each beater (how did it get that way?)
E) I know someone who uses them in a rotisserie game
F) A cheap way to build a second set
E) other reasons- add your own here

I doubt anyone would turn down a beater T206 Wagner.

For the price such a Wagner would cost...YES. I would turn it down...

same goes with the '52 Mantle - WAY overpriced* ! imo
