See 2 separate $1000 notes and one is bid up to 1600 even though it looks to be in worse condition. Whats driving the premium/bidding?

I couldn't afford a $1,000.00 note but both of those aren't in the best shape. Paper is up and running; I just bought two National notes. Tough prices anymore.
Possibly the different Federal Reserve Banks account for the difference in price. However, surprising that the second one is $1651 at the moment, even though it has some fairly recent and crude tape repair.
Paying a premium for basically a train wreck ! isnt smart, is it cheaper of Course it is but, you will have problems when you go to sell it, as for The first not "VF" ? if that was sent in to be graded you would for Sure get an amended grade with comments, as far as the second note just not worth it. If you new to this my advice is educate yourself on grading before you Buy, this will keep you from over paying for junk ! You can always PM me, and i would be glad to point you in the right Direction.
