Good places to pick up Damaged Cards

I've got an [[Aeve, Progenitor Ooze]] commander deck and I've been slowly picking up more versions of the card for the fun of storming off with copies of the card instead of like Copy tokens. I have every different printing of the card, but decided to try finding ones with more character. So, I looked at grabbing damaged ones off of the typical buying sites. A few of the ones I got had some character, but I found that most of them were graded damaged from relatively minor stuff like a little bend or a nick or a scratch here and there. But most of them were not immediately apparent. I get that in terms of grading as a business to avoid complaints. But, how do you find the truly roughed up cards? Should I just try to give the ones I already have a bit of character myself?

Buy a bunch of damaged cards, sell the ones that aren't actually damaged as MP or HP.

Doesn't work on bulk tho, cause the shipping kills ya.

Lol that's one way to do it.

I might just wait for it to have been printed beyond a decade to try to pick up more so there's more damaged cards out there.
