While I agree with your assessment I am not really in that camp. My go to strategy, if you will, is to acquire the best looking example I can, regardless of grade. But I have to agree with you on the highest graded one you can get, might be the better investment. Everyone wants the best .... (show picture of E90-1 Young) LOL....
