Buy the card, not the holder, BUT...

Posted By: barrysloate

You may be mixing up terms here. "Buy the card, not the holder" means take a close look at the card yourself and decide if you agree or disagree with the assigned grade.

With reference to the Nagy or Carter collections, you may be paying a premium for provenance. That's a little different issue, and each collector makes the determination if that provenance is worth a little extra. I think it does in the short term, but won't in the long term, because there will eventually be so many famous collections to hit the marketplace that the label will lose some of its luster.
