I went with the set. In vintage cards condition is very low on my priority list. The only thing lower would be centering.

Good question topic.

I went with 1 good card route, but in my earlier hobby days I was much more of a lower end set guy.

I voted for the complete set as that's what my track record shows, but in the future, may be leaning towards a single card.

I tend to prefer quality to quantity, but there are some outstanding sets out there where I've spent money on common cards just to have the complete set. It's a poor return on investment, but ultimately this is a hobby for me, and not every decision is guided by my ROI.

As a type collector I'll take quality over quantity. Although, when building my E98 Master I took anything down to a 1 and upgraded as I went along.
