Being new to the CGC community I was wondering how the more seasoned set builders approach their collecting. I just started with a few sets with only a couple issues, knowing that I have more to add when my books arrive graded from CGC.
When you collect, do you pay attention to completing a set or to points? Or do you just collect what you want and if you build a nice set, more power to it...
Also, since page quality doesn't appear to be calculated into the set scoring from what I can tell... do you concern yourself with getting the best possible page quality? I've noticed that higher page quality can fetch a 10% to 50% premium - worth it? The same can be said for pedigrees as well.
Also wondering if anyone out there lets the point value of the book influence what price they'll pay for a book. Take for example a Captain Marvel 9.8 offered for $350, but only scores 120 pts - would you still pay that price?
I'm new to this, so any advice from seasoned set builders would be appreciated - thanks for reading!
