I agree with all of the above statements. My advice is figure out what condition standards are most important to you, ie, sharp corners, writing, creasing, centering etc, and let go of what isn't. For example I cannot stand surface wear but centering is not a big deal to me as long as it is with about 75/ 25. I want to see a clean image and be able to read the backs but I have a good friend on the boards who is a centering fanatic but corner and edge wear don't bother him. Either way most of our collections would grade in the 2 to 4 range but they presen differently.
It all about what you enjoy. Set building and ownership over hunting for the more rare hi condition cards.
