Is a messed up 1/1 still worth it?

[BigAppleJak]

I really wanted this card, but the "pock marks" from the too tight holder made me hold back a bit...

2004 Yadier Molina UD Ultimate Collection Platinum Auto RC 1 1 | eBay

Just Wondering if a 1/1 or Superfractor that is damaged should be worth any less?

 

[Junior Griffey]

Sure it should be worth less. Just depends on whatever the buyer is comfortable paying. What would that Molina have gone for without the damage?

values are based upon comparison and in this case there is no comparing to be done. Yes it is devalued a tad, but it IS still worth it. It is impossible to buy a better one. The only question to ask is do you want it? If so, go for it. Beautiful card!

Can't believe a damaged card with a fugly bandaid auto sold for even half that.

To me, the card would be worth somewhat less than NrMt-Mt, but it depends on what I would do with it. If it's for my PC, it's not like I'm gonna be able to wait for the next one to come along.

I think that's a sweet card. Drag about the damage. Yadi had no BC auto and he is proving to be one of the most important players of our generation, so I think that's a good price.

Unless I am missing something, this card doesn't appear to be that damaged. The damage I am seeing is somewhat common on cards like this. Definitely not enough to keep me from going after the card if I wanted it. There will never be another, so I think that makes being Gem Mint les important in my opinion

There are big chunks missing from the finish of the card.

When will people learn? Soft sleeve + Top loader = best way to protect a card.
