I understand your point now. The gamblers on nice raw cards do make a difference. I had refreshed the thread that had died so thats why I took it as a response to me. My bad.
Happy collecting!

In honesty in my experience it is more cost friendly to buy lower or mid graded cards than raw. The majority of raw cards I see sell for more than a similar graded counterpart due to gamblers thinking they are getter a higher grade card cheaper. This is why so many threads over the years have been complaining about case crackers selling good looking 5-6 cards, or trimmed out of the case because the buyers think they are getting an 8-9.
In most cases I can buy a graded 3-4 for less than an ungraded one. The number on non rare cards brings the price down.
This experience is why I have a hard time understanding the original premise of the thread. My personal experience has proven at auction (not BIN) I will get a much better price when getting slabbed on low grade.
