I would not buy a Raw card at that high $ value.

For several reasons.
1. I am not experienced enough to tell with my own eyes/judgement
2. I do not sell cards often but when I sell or trade cards most people are more comfortable dealing with something being authenticated and graded. as a result the market for it is tougher with a smaller crowd of people dealing in raw cards.
3. The casing also helps protect which is an added value
4. For me to get and get it slabbed with a company will cost me more money and time and for the unknown of what you are getting
