Interesting topic I saw today. Would you rather have a low grade complete set or a high grade star card from same set? And why?
Example: A) Complete 1934 Goudey Baseball Set or B) High Grade 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig For the purposes of the post, both options are worth the same $$$ wise. Last edited by parkplace33; 09-26-2022 at 10:26 AM. |

I voted low grade as I made the decision 20+ yrs ago, to collect more instead of less. Except for a few cards mine are around vg'ish....

I've always been a set collector so I would go for the low grade set (which I have many of).

I voted for the set, but I'm a junkie.

1 High Grade Gehrig.
Easier to liquidate. |

At this point in my life, I went with the single high grade card. While I actually prefer my vintage cards to have some wear to them, I don't want to go back to the days where I have too many cards that I don't really care about. That, and I've got enough non-trading card related stuff in the house I need to get rid of before I would even entertain the idea of building a card set again.

It depends on the set. I'd rather have a complete, low-grade 1934 Goudey set than one nice Gehrig. I'd rather (and do) have one nice 1957 Topps Willie Mays than an an entire low-grade set.

Depends if I built the set or not. If I'm buying an already complete low grade set vs buying a high grade star, then I'm buying the star card. If I get to build the set, then I'm building the set.

My eyes are so accustomed to viewing low condition prewar cards that high graded ones don't look real to me. So obviously I voted for the set.

I'm happy with a few choice cards from a set - I voted for the single card.
No Gehrig's yet, or even 1934s, so a Gehrig would be an awesome start. It doesn't have the be a key card from a set even, but one I just enjoy. |

I have Gehrig, and a few others from the '34 set in low grade. Would LOVE to have the entire set. I'm not an investor; low grade raw is perfect for me. Could not give a hoot about nit-picky high grade BS.
