I think condition is everything when talking collector value. Obviously a 50% BHE will have a higher dollar value than a better condition gun of a lower grade. But, condition is what drives the prices up higher than run of the mill guns.
When talking about "investment" quality guns. It is all about getting a gun in the highest condition for the least money. Something that can make money on an immediate flip is bound to make you more if you wait a while and preserve the condition of the gun.
