Default Condition vs. Scarce Back

Posted By: Paul S

I realize responses will vary depending on what and how one collects, but I am curious what many collectors here would prefer if they had to decide between owning a better condition card with a more common back or the same player on the same card type but with a more scarce back, that they didn't already have in their collection, with the price being comparable to each. Example:

T206 Eddie Collins portrait with Sweet Caporal Back in wonderful condition (PSA has a "wonderful" designation, doesn't it? )

or

T206 Eddie Collins portrait with, say, Carolina Brights back, several grades below the other.

You can only own one of this type/player/pose.
