In situations like this I have come to rely on my own sense of rarity / scarcity. I have put my eyeballs on 100s of thousands if not millions of items at this point in my collecting life. I know if i’ve seen something once or twice or a thousand times. I scale it in terms of time - does this item come around once a week, month, year, or perhaps only once every decade. I buy everything I rarely see because I don’t know if I will get another bite at the apple or not. I have no regrets with these scarce purchase decisions so far. If someone knows better than you how scarce this item is, and how infrequently it is offered for sale, then maybe check in with that person, otherwise trust your own instincts here.
