You can apply this question to your own personal scenarios but would you rather own your favorite card in a set or every other card in the set except for your favorite card? For example, would you rather own the 1/1 of your PC player or every other 1/1 in the set except for your PC player's card? To define "set", it could be a straight up card set (1952 Topps), a memorabilia set (TOTT, bat barrel cards, etc.), autograph sets (SP Legendary Cuts) PSA graded sets or any of the many sought after 90's inserts (pick your poison). I imagine most people will come up with different card sets to use in their own scenarios.
This question occurred to me after a card I've never seen come up for sale became available and the auction ends in the next week. The card is possibly worth more than the combined value of all other cards in the "set" combined and will likely end at a price 7 to 10 times more than I have ever paid for a single card. The thought of owning such a card is salivating but it also has me wondering what really makes that 1 card better than all the other cards combined?
