Not the same at all but I understand what your saying. The difference is most paintings are typically a one of a kind, cards are not. So unless your assume it's a one of a kind card it might be a different story. I collected mostly just T206s and I usually had a number of choices. If I passed on one, I knew at some point another one would pop up in the same grade and I didn't have to look at the wrinkled plastic in my display case. Now, if I knew I was never going to see another one or it was a one off then of course I wouldn't pass...
