I wonder--which is better to have or prefer: something in poor condition but valuable, maybe rare.
Or some thing in excellent condition but not so valuable and relatively common?
Assume both cost the same and have the same meaning to you.
condition is very important for collectibles, especially coins.
Rather have a fake replica of an old gun in new condition or a real authentic gun in bad condition?
a valuable real antique in bad condition or a real antique not so valuable in great condition?
I'd rather have my Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle cards in bad condition than, say, Nolan Ryan that is new.
