From my personal perspective, I was, I am and will be always biased towards MCC in OMP, no doubt about it! The passionnate collector on me is only attracted by original items from the source, even with flaws.
Others may have different points of view and needs, I think we must accept this fact to be able to promote our. More tools, informations and experts are now available to help collectors to take their own decisions for their best interests, education; a big step!
The slow camp could be an option, too, for a young collector like you. Good luck!
