pete... what the hell does the buyer's premium have to do with the general premise of the conundrum .... and if you're talking about a lemon named Bob, nothing.

One of one or one of two is only valid until the next big find. Thats the fun and the agony of collecting!

Hypothetically, I would do neither. The other day, while taking my cow to town to sell her, a nice guy, after trading me three magic beans for her, gave me a hot tip. I would take the $21K and buy 1000 Factory sealed '92 Donruss Sets. He told me that that's where all the smart money is going. (Keep it under your hat. Okay fellas?)

Frank, yes, "we all know value (price) is influenced by both condition and scarcity of an item." However, you failed to mention that value (price) is also greatly influenced by the DEMAND for an item. If Item A were in a set that has next to no collector demand, I'd go to bed (with or without J.A.) - I have a few such cards, and they aren't worth anything remotely close to $20K. But, if Item A were in a popular set, I'm a +1 to what Leon said.

Hey, I met the same guy! He told me 1988 Donruss is where the big money is!
