Because you just never know. Just today I discovered a card that I never knew existed thanks of this forum, and now it is firmly on my want list. REA's book came and I scanned it a few times, took note of a couple things, and let the auction pass as there wasn't really anything I had to have. Then Rhett posted the Moonlight Graham PC in the pickup thread and my jaw dropped. Not everyone in the hobby follows the auction scene and I was bidding in the auction and did not even realize what the card was (hell, I don't think REA did either based upon the description). If Rhett posted that card in the B/S/T for the price of the entire lot or slightly higher I would strongly consider it.
