I completely agree with you.
It's basically the old "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" saying. You have the card in hand, and can actually see exactly what you're getting before forking over the money. If it's a strong example, you buy it. You then don't have to worry about taking the time to try to find one, perhaps at a lower price, and wondering if it will measure up.
