Call REA or LOTG and you’ll get a 10 minute conversation about the card, it’s history and it’s condition.

+1 Dave, I'm not a big time collector and collect what appeals to me when I can afford it, I won't deal with an AH that gives me negative energy, there are way too many options including the two you mentioned that have amazing offerings and I am happy to spend my budget with them instead. You can always find fantastic cards to buy with people who are positive and and a joy to deal with.
I don't need any cards that bad (well, maybe one or two) but outside of that...
I find enjoyment with the people I meet in this hobby and will only hang around folks who I have positive interactions with. Life is stressful enough, collecting baseball cards should be a stress reliever not a stress multiplier.
