Until grading becomes an exact science, I would highly recommend buying the card, and not buying solely the grade. Any seasoned collector will tell you the same. Just search ebay and look at different examples for the same grade. The differences are incredible with some. Some cards were graded 2 decades ago, some last week, which grade do you think is more accurate considering the advancement in technology. No offense, but the ones who are buying the grade and not the card are the ones in the hobby not investing wisely. To each their own though...

No, I buy cards that actually match the grade given, and have done quite well.

Judging by your comments, I’m guessing you’ve never seen a card cracked, regraded, and it received a higher grade? It does happen and I’ve done it countless times on lower valued cards. I’m not paying $1000+ to PSA for that gamble on this card though, which is why people like me post that it “looks nicer” in instances like this. Thanks for your comments. I can’t help explain it to you any more than I have. Best of luck buying your grades.

This isn't really the place for a lot of back and forth. This is a place to buy, sell and trade. That card does look nice for the grade. Nuff said. Good luck with the sale.
