Increcible prices for PWCC auctions

As I guy who buys cards, I would.

If I was a guy who liked to buy slabs, I probably would not.

I wouldn't pay more for a 7 then an 8, and vice versa.

Maybe that's why I've never had an 8.

It all depends on the two particular cards.

If an undergraded 7 is nicer than an overgraded 8, then sure...I would pay more for it. After all, the grade is just an opinion.

Two different graders can have vastly different criteria when grading cards. It shouldn't be this way...but it does happen. Cards can also be damaged after grading.

In short, buy the card, not the holder.

I'd buy a 2-4 and put the money saved towards something more useful!

Me too. I made that decision right out of the gate when I first started collecting to go for cards that are decent but not usually high grade. More power to those that have so much faith in pointy corners.

Couldn't have said it better, I almost never go after "super high grade" examples of any card I want. Call me crazy but I actually prefer a little "aging" to my vintage cards

I was lucky to purchase high grade Cobb cards in the 1980's.. I would not be able to afford such cards today.
