I'm a set builder, and I buy raw and graded. I usually crack the graded ones and keep the cards in pages/binders. I actually just popped a SGC 86/7.5 high-number '53 Bowman today, which I'll crack out when it gets back. I think that will be the highest I've ever cracked out. I've cracked out some SGC 70/5.5 1934 Goudey commons. Most expensive was probably a T205 Mathewson that I cracked out of a SGC 30 holder to submit to PSA. Worked out in my favor that time.
So, a couple cards in the ~$300 range, but nothing more. I'd have to think long and hard before cracking out a big card, but I like to tell myself that I would!
