Hi, I have a lower grade( 1-3) set along with some extras. If I had to sell my whole collection of cards the 05s are the ones I'd miss the most. Lower grade 05s look great because minor creases are covered by the vibrant colors. The cards can have corner wear without chipping. The gold is sometimes vibrant, sometimes dull but has held up really well on most examples. It's worth it to buy one lower grade example and see if you get hooked.
