In fact from all my conversations with fellow enthusiasts, I am seeing a great amount of collectors who collect and shop for eye appeal. I personally look for cards just like yours-- those rare specimens that look as good but cost a fraction of what a higher grade example costs. Not many "3.5's" exude that kind of look. Congrats on a great card and welcome back to collecting!
I always agree with Matt when it comes to buying lower technical grades with great eye-appeal. This is very well said. That Chase looks amazing, and ultimately, that is why you bought it in the first place.
