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

Mr. Carter is one of the few collectors alive who actually opened the packs the cards came from, and collected many of his sets prior to the 1950's. There are a select few names that have reached celebrity status in the hobby due to their collections but more than that people are willing to pay a premium due to the extra security in buying a card that's never(or hasnt in a VERY long time) traded hands. You can feel secure knowing its hasn't been trimmed or altered. And when paying thousands of dollars specifically becauuse it is high grade that means something. With all the talk of doctoring that goes on, I would pay a little extra for a rare super high grade card from Carters collection then one that you know nothing about. Now if its not a high grade card like stated above i wouldn't pay a premium. VG cards from his collection i'd value the same as cards from the "Dylan Jasper" collection
