I've used the term "low grade" because for most of my pre-war sets that accurately describes what I am collecting. In theory I would by a PSA 7 T206 for a raw F/G price, I do not think it has ever happened, not is it likely to. Low grade seems to describe what I am buying accurately.

Exactly, they're setting a condition for a card they could purchase in that price range. If they says they want a VG card and you offered them an EX-MT card for double, they would have to tell you they can't afford it. Not everyone has the card fund that you big spenders seem to. Some are budget shoppers who prefer to shop in TJ Maxx instead of Saks 5th Ave.

I may be in the minority on this site, but I prefer lowgrade cards over pristine ones. It means the card was played with and handled, not tossed in a drawer and forgotten about. Plus, I don't have to worry about card doctors!
