Yes, you can try authenticating the bag first for a peace of mind. It’s just that I’ve also lost my authenticity card on a bag I bought 3 years ago. Never been used .
If I know a bag is authentic and the price is right- than YES - in a heartbeat. However, I know the card is important when it comes to resales so that's the only thing that would make me hesitate. I don't buy bags with plans to resell but styles/taste change so you never know.
I don’t care about the card unless I’m looking to buy new or like new condition. I’ve seen some great deals without the card and if I decided to resale in the future I don’t see myself losing money as I already paid so little originally. The card does not guarantee it’s authentic.
I’d skip, if having one with the card makes you happier. It’s a high price point and you are best waiting for the one that checks all your “happy” boxes.
