Show me your ugliest cards, your beaters
I've been going through my collection, selling off some cards, adding some too. In the process I've realized there are certain cards I own that I'll never sell and never upgrade. They're perfect as is, impossible to improve on in my mind.
Here are a few of the beat up cards I'll never part with. The Jackie was my dad's, bought when he was seven. The Mays was my uncles. What beat up ugly cards are you in love with that will stay in your PC? |

Those are some really nice "ugly" cards. I'm hoping someone reposts the E121 Ruth with the drawings.

The Ruth is amazing. Remarkable someone would have saved it like that, I'm sure you're glad they did!

Some of my best (worst). I bought the Mick for $25 back in 1988 when I was 12. The card store let me make a couple payments on it.

$25 for the Mantle. I'm trying to remember how many lawns I'd have had to mow to make those payments back then.

This is probably the worst card I have in any of my set builds. I'm chasing this '62 Post in '1-piece' condition. If it's in 1 piece, it's fine by me.

My top collecting focus is cards of all the players on the 1924 Washington Senators WS Championship team. All the cards of the 18-card 1925 Holland Creameries World's Champions set, a Canadian set, are of 1924 Senators players. I had these 16 beauties roughly 20 years ago. I have since been able to upgrade 4 of these cards: Judge, Mogridge, Ogden & Zahniser, and I'm hoping to upgrade more of them.

Finally, a game that I can play!
The Ott card was cut in half, but then somebody thought better of it and glued it back together. And then they trimmed off the bottom for some reason. |

Does that qualify it as "altered"? Your Satchell Paige would fit right in with my Jackie Robinson.

It's in rough shape but I'm happy to have this Donnie Bush it's an extremely
tough combo. It's the only one I've ever seen although I do know of another one that a collector friend has. There are none in the PSA or SGC pop reports. Bush Tolstoi.jpg Bush Tolstoi Back.jpg |

This is totally an OBC thread, we collectively own many of the worst! But when an OBC'er sends a card like this to a fellow member, you simply cherish it, and never give a thought to an upgrade.

First old card I ever got. Unlikely I would ever spend the $$ to upgrade this one. When it comes to Venezuelan Topps cards, this is actually pretty good condition. Find me another one...

I have several cards that would fit well in this thread, but here are just a couple for now.
I think Brian Parker could win this thread if it was a competition. .

Here is a Zeenut I just scanned today, as well as a few others that people might enjoy looking away from. In case you were wondering the blank one is the front side of a Diamond Stars card of Rogers Hornsby.
Brian (sadly, many of these I no longer own, but I still have the Hornsby with the blank stare) |

I have a couple more for consideration.
A 1912 Zeenut in typical Zeenut condition and a rusty Rusty Staub (Not PreWar of course) .

Great looking Rusty Staub. I guess the Colt .45s went the same way as the Washington Bullets. Different times. Astros just doesn't have the same edge to it. |
