I'd probably agree with all of your comments actually. I'm the type of collector that would prefer lower to mid grade cards because that leaves more money for more cards! Plus, I think cards with wear in general are more attractive in a way. I don't know how to explain it, they just have more of a "collectible feel" to them I guess.
While I like some wear on cards, catastrophic flaws like hole punches, tears, trimming, magic marker, etc etc...are the types of things I try to steer clear of. I also hesitate when the players face is marred by nicks and creases or other things like that as that ruins a lot of the appeal of the card for me.
That being said, the seller offered it to me for $400. I think my gut instinct pretty much matched what everyone's been telling me here which has been mostly "get the card for way less than $400 if you get it". Thanks for the input guys, it's always appreciated and Happy Holidays to you all!
