If you're collecting cards in lower-to-mid range "grade" types (this is most of what I do), wait until you get one you can live with.

If you get a card like this just because the price is right you'll end up in constant upgrading loops.

I don't mind upgrading something so rare it barely comes up for sale, but when there's many times a year you can take a shot at something it's worth waiting.

If you do buy low grade I’d make sure it’s centered and has great clarity. Make it stand out from all the rest!!!!

Impossible to answer without knowing the person's objective or how much he has to spend. Is it investment only? Then buy Babe Ruth.
