Impatience caused my last post to appear four times. Wish we could just delete a post...

Sorry.

I hope this doesn't inspire a new trend!  It may be cause for a new rating on the scale.  M (mint), NM (near mint), B (bearded).

That's funny....but to tell the truth I have a small collection of "enhanced" cards. I keep all the cards I find with added artwork. I was inspired by a blog post I read awhile back about how the condition of a card could tell a story about the card's history. The article was written very well and made me appreciate cards that were obviously in somebody's collection at one time or another. I think I have about 50 cards with some kind of artwork or notes on them. I have a Staubach rookie that I burnt holes in after the Cowboys beat the Vikings in the '75 playoffs for example. These cards are worthless to other collectors, but to me they tell a story about the card itself.

Love it!

I remember that '75 game. I was a shy quiet teen, but after enduring my uncle's teases about my Cowboys not winning before the dramatic non-push off TD, I laughed loudly in his face. 

I'd have burned a hole in Staubach's card, too.

Based on another topic floating on the boards, I was wondering if these "cards with character" should be considered 1/1's?

to put it simply...

NO!

To elaborate a little on the answer...

NO WAY!

(We have more than enough subsets already... :P)
