I might be one of the least condition sensitive people here. Just doing this for fun, and on a budget. The more I can get for less, the better. Beaters and major flaws are almost a must for me as long as I'm still ok with it's appearance (except modern stuff, then condition matters). I generally follow one rule though.. I have to legitimately believe that if push came to shove, that I could sell it for more than I payed..

I got back into the hobby about four years ago and pretty much collect vintage cards from the 1930's and 40's. I dabble in the T cards and E cards every once in a while though. The things I look for are the card and then the card vs the grade, and if the card is a good deal. I pretty much stick to a PSA or SGC range of 3 through 5, but have lower grades and some higher graded cards as well. One thing I look for are vintage cards with qualifiers. --specifically a miscut card--- centering doesn't bother me as much with Pre World War II cards and it is a cheaper way to pick up a vintage card in otherwise great shape. imho

It depends on how big...or little your penis is.

I think this statement covers everything that you purchase in life.
