<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1408345, member: 19065&quot;]There&#039;s nothing like stating the obvious NOS... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course everyone has different budgets. Everyone also has different ideas about the value of a given thing. Everyone has different levels of knowledge about a given series, as well as differing degrees of knowledge over the factors impacting value. Everyone has different tolerances over the grades and quality of notes they seek for their collections as well. Advice on knowing the seller or selling venue too may be important... is there a reason this note isn&#039;t in a dealer or collectors hands but instead lingers in a antique mall or shop... There are many things more than poor images we must consider to arrive at a value recommendation... But to inform someone who may be collecting on a budget to spend any&nbsp; amount based on your observation of these extremely poor images only&nbsp; serves to mislead and misinform someone seeking advice. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are no more capable of seeing the note to do this than is any other person offering advice about what to offer for it.&nbsp; However, offering caution to avoid such a problematic note protects one&#039;s limited budget that you suggest may be at play. Saving money for a note in better condition will improve ones chances of learning about the Series more before making a purchase. Caution allows for time to see more options available and to consider why and what you are intending to buy said item for. Caution allows for making a more informed decision over the quality of the note one considers to accept into their condition. Even a limited budget can be saved for the goal of affording a better quality example and avoiding mistakes by merely getting a very poor quality example on an impulse for a perceived low price to match a limited budget of cash in hand. </p><p><br /></p><p>Reserve from buying low grade items can improve the quality of ones collection. Investing a limited budget should be done wisely not sporadically because you feel poor quality should match poorer budgets. Reserve from buying such problematic examples helps remove the chance of allowing problem notes into ones collection and learning later how difficult they are to resell, recoup the value put into them and to perhaps learn how expensive it is to replace the low quality note at a later date for a higher value and higher quality note that may be more satisfactory to ones personal eye appeal. </p><p><br /></p><p>Until there are better images of the note to go by, no one can offer a sound value on the note and to spend the amount of money suggested would be a waste, particularly if it&#039;s a limited budget we are talking about. Bargain pricing does not necessarily provide you with a thing of equal value, as I mentioned, the value of such a low grade note will always be questioned and vary in opinion between individuals with different budgets. As has been shown, there are other venues where one might compare quality (grades) and values, such as eBay listings, to get a more sound idea of where the note in question may be based. Without better images, only the OP can make this call. Furthermore, the quantity of poor quality notes tends to be higher and more readily available than higher grade examples, such that passing on one isn&#039;t a missed opportunity with many more poor examples to return to later if the one in questions is passed on now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
