Recently had this happen to me so curious as to what other collectors would do in a similar situation.
SCENARIO - You have been searching for an elusive card for your collection for a couple of years. Finally, FINALLY you have the chance to buy one. it is a graded example, lower grade but nice for the grade, and the price is pretty reasonable - - -and you are negotiating with the seller for this and another card for your collection.
BOOM! Out of the blue a SECOND example becomes available from a different source! This one is ungraded, maybe just a shade nicer but at a cost that is 51% more than the card you first found.
We are not talking break the bank money here, but still it is a few hundred bucks. And no, neither one is trimmed
Do you:
1) Go with the first card
2) Punt the first card and buy the second card
3) Purchase BOTH
Curious to hear what others would do and some support as to why?
