<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 942045, member: 19065"]Midas, I think it comes down to personal preference or like Connor says, if a collector attended a show. I have mostly uncancelled cards but when I bought canceled cards I was careful to choose a card that was stamped in a way that wasn't too distracting to the design. Sometimes the stamps and cancel marks look a bit unattractive or are placed over a part of the design that obscures. I wouldn't want to buy a canceled card 'sight-unseen' because I wouldn't know how obtrusive the stamp might be. I see nothing wrong with have canceled cards in your collection but I also cannot really speak to the value of them verses un-canceled cards. I would also add, that if you are thinking to frame a card, you may wish to choose a clean un-canceled card for an elegant display. I don't see a right or a wrong in the two. Just my thoughts on this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
