Graded 1s vs. Raw cards

[Cozumeleno]

If you were buying a mostly mid-grade set, would you prefer to see a card that was graded a PSA/SGC 1 Poor or a raw card that, realistically, may still grade a 1 or 1.5, but was raw with the card being open to some degree of interpretation?

I certainly realize a couple of things here:

1. Appearance is the determining factor - you're buying the card, not the holder. I'm just talking in generalities, though.

2. For expensive cards, graded is the preference. For the high-dollar stuff, I realize that a graded one is extremely attractive to a buyer considering it greatly reduces the chance that it is counterfeit. But for this purpose, I'm talking like a 1933 Goudey common or something in that ballpark where someone isn't spending a boatload of money.

Some of the lower grade cards in my sets, which mostly grade G-EX as a whole, are PSA 1s. Personally, I think a few of them are more attractive than that grade, so I'm thinking of just cracking them open. But I guess my question is, if you were buying a mostly mid-grade set, would you prefer that the few lower-grade cards be graded 1s or raw?
