This is a common card. You can find PSA 5's on the regular. Why bother gambling when it is completely unnecessary in this situation?

I agree on some points and disagree on some others. Yes the card is attainable, for sure.
But I don't think bargain hunting is necessarily greed. I'll take a little risk for the chance of a higher grade based on my judgment. I won't take the risk of buying a card I think might have been altered.
I like the thrill of finding a deal. It honestly keeps me more entertained than a lot in this hobby. I can only look at my collection so much. I spend a LOT of time hunting for a deal.
Thanks for the input.
