Great advice. I never realized until it was said that I've been looking at the card anyway. The card is what only matters to me not the grade. I've seen some nice 2's. I want to add some T cards to my collection thats why I was asking. Thanks Jaybird.

Typically you will pay more for a really nicely centered, nicely registered, nice color, nice corner card, regardless of the number on the flip.

In my opinion, I'll buy a 2 if the card is nice. But, I don't compete in the registry game so if that's your thing than the holder and grade will matter more.
