Judge DredA card is worth what anybody would legitimately pay for the item. It's true worth comes about when the person that owns it will not part with it for any legitimate offer in cash or trade.
From a collecting sense wouldn't a CJ card with stains on it in a high grade be worth more to a collector than the same card without the stain? This is purely from a collectors point of view. Something that was widely distributed individually rather than sold in a complete set offering is tougher to find in nice condition. Receiving a complete set would remove all the fun of putting the set together. I always figured a set put togther card by card would have more sentimental value than a set purchased in whole.
