That's a question ONLY YOU CAN ANSWER though. You seem to post a lot of those. That's the frustrating part. We shouldn't tell you what to do. You should figure out what you like.

If you know it's altered when you buy it, I don't think you'll somehow wish you bought an ugly PSA 1.5 instead. The main issue with buying a card and later finding out it's altered is that now it's on you to either sell the card honestly as altered, by getting it into an AUTHENTIC ALTERED holder and forcing PSA to pay out on their Grade Guarantee. That's stressful, and PSA could just tell you it's not altered and they don't owe you shit. They've done that about 10 times so far (that we know of) on cards valued $5K - $100K in the past year.

If you buy an altered card now, you know it's altered. You're never going to get surprised in the future that it's altered. You can just enjoy it for what it is.
