MVSNYCit is a personal preference...
i started collecting raw cards almost 20 years ago...then slowly got into graded cards. my personal choice is PSA graded cards. for me, there are several reasons, much higher resale value, there is a comfort level (most of the time) that the card is not altered, and it presents well and is sealed and preserved...
but i am sure you will see others who prefer raw and they will give you their reasoning...it is a personal preference for sure.
