I don't see this as a classic case of buying the holder. Both cards are graded poor--really can't be downgraded any further--and both cards are in poor condition. At that point, eye appeal rules, as is the case with many lower graded cards. The REA Plank is nicer--that is conceded, but I'm not sure I would have paid another 33%, i.e. $5K for that "upgrade". I'd take either card though, and the observations about the bidding patterns is very interesting.
