That was exactly my analysis when I did that very thing several months ago. I don't regret it because it would have been quite a while before the card I received became available again, particularly in the condition I wanted. Personally I'd go for it.

I agree with the above - sell the set cards and buy the dream card. I have never for a second regretted picking up a dream card. I am not a set builder, but part of the fun in that is the process of building the set, so this will let you extend the fun of building your set too.

Get the dream card....

Try to broker a deal where maybe you put some $$$ down and the owner agrees to let you sell the other set cards to raise the funds (so you don't end up moving your set cards and missing out on the dream card)
