jay behrenswould anyone bid $10 on this card? It's a dirt common.

I know that first and last cards carry a premium in high grades because they are hard to find. What I don't get is why people pay a premium for these cards in lower grades. Part of the blame lies with the price guides since they do not do realistic pricing of cards in each, but instead do a percentage of the NM value. This fine for most cards, but does not work for the first and last cards of a set.
I would love to hear Mr Lemke's input on this.
I need a Bengough card for my player set and his only card is the 33 Goudey, but I refuse to pay $10 or for his card in that sort of condition.
