I never loved having prominent cards that grade much higher than the rest of my set. I own a nice VG/EX quality 1956 set with a Clemente that is a sharp NM+. It might sound stupid but the Clemente stands out too much from the rest of the set. I've been looking for a VG (preferrably one with strong corners, great color and centering and a small light crease). Downgrading that card will let me sell off the nicer one, which will increase my limited budget. I agree with the guys that posted before me. Take the money you save in not buying the great Church card and get yourself a nice Church and one or two other prominent, nice cards in conditions consistent with the rest of your set.
