Paying for the card, not the holder?
We've all heard the saying, "Buy the card, not the holder". Most of us look for cards with superior eye appeal for the grade. Let's face it, there's a ton of variability within numeric grades, especially in the low-mid range stuff. But, I wonder if people also pay for the card, completely minimizing the consideration of the holder.
I ask because it seems many sellers are pricing their graded cards based on the first-glance appearance and not the actual numeric grade. I'm willing to pay a premium for a well-centered card with exceptionally high visual appeal for the grade. But, I'm not willing to pay for a 6 when the card still grades a 4. I'm also not willing to pay a huge premium for a "sharp" or "crisp" Authentic altered card over a numerically graded one. What is your rule of thumb in this space?
