So graded is easier but I love raw cards! So trying to figure out the best route to go with raw cards.

It really comes down to how much you want to spend, how many cards you want, and how easy they are to sell. Like the old saying goes, pick the two you want because you can't have all three.
Raw cards are way cheaper and you can easily have 3-5X of the same exact card for the price of a singe graded version. So you can get a very impressive collection for the price of a small stack of cards in plastic slabs. Could also enjoy a few cards you really like that are easy to sell. Heck you can even do a little of both.
