    Player/Team Collectors - Here's A Scenario For You!

    I was thinking about this earlier today, and while I know what I would choose, I'd like to hear what you'd prefer!

    If you are making a trade for your personal collection, would you rather have (1) $20 insert or (10) $2 base/inserts? Why?

    One $20 insert. . . just because the $20 one might be harder to find. The 10 inserts for $2 is pretty easy to obtain, and you might even get it for $1 each if you try hard enough.

    I'm leaning towards - (10) $2 base/inserts.
    But...It would obviously depend on what the $20 card was.

    Would have to know the specifics to answer definitively.

    I'm with Whalechaser here. I'm going to assume that the $20 bv insert is rarer. When those cards come up, you kind of have to pounce on it or risk another one not coming up for a looooooong time, if ever.

    There aren't specifics - it's purely hypothetical. ;-)

    Ok well, I'm not the right person to ask I guess.
    I don't want every KM card ever produced so the possibility of me turning something down is greater than yours.

    If the $20 card was a crap design or a cruddy tandem I'd definitely turn it down for 10 other cards.

    Not to mention $20 BV doesn't automatically make that 1 card a gem.
    Plenty of over-valued cards out there.

    That's why I'm asking everyone's opinions, as to what they would do...not asking what I should do, as I already know what I would do in most cases, which I will reveal later ;-)

    If they were all rc's...I would go with the 10 $2.00 cards because there is a greater chance for one of the guys to actually make it. I would rather be diversified than having one card.

    If I needed ALL 10 base/inserts I would 100% choose the greater number of cards. If i only needed a few of them i may choose the 1 card.

    10 PC cards are better than 1 PC card imo.

    I would take the one higher end card myself but that is because I like to put a limit on how many cards I have, I don't chase everything of my player
