edit: not really the question i meant to ask. look at the other thread.

absolute numbers are irrelevant here, so is era. but we're talking your single most revered GRAIL.

 

say for instance, it's in late BA:

 

if u have a 9.8 (one of three), but know there's 9.9 (one of one, none higher) and it comes to market - do u have to get it?

 

or say, it's an early modern (like 1982):

 

u have a 9.9 (one of one). a 10.0 (one of one, none higher - and it's a "rare book" so no other 10s wiill likely appear). do u get it?

 

or for SA:

 

u have a 9.6 (one of two). a 9.8 (one of one, none higher) comes to market. do u have to get it?

 

yes, u have to pay insane multiples - but remember, this is your grail.

 

HG-collectors aside, most collectors often do want the best - so when do u draw the line?

 

and of course, the copy u possess now IS liquid...

 

Personally...I'm not in the best of the best crowd. A nice HG copy suits me fine. I don't have a problem if someone has a better copy somewhere.

No.

how about buying that other book IN ADDITION to the one u already have? i think this is a better question.

 

u have a 9.8. a 9.9 comes to market. are u interested in it?

 

say for instance, an IM/SM in 9.9... calamerica??
