I should’ve better clarified my response. I’m advocating buying slabbed for big purchases. However, “big” is a relative term, because everyone has different disposable income levels. I have no worries purchasing raw vintage, even over the internet which hinders my ability to fully inspect the card, up to $200.00. Anything over $200.00 makes me uneasy and I’d prefer a slab.
