I think it says "flat head".

it really depends for me. I prefer my higher dollar cards to be graded so they are ready to sell if I decide to. It bugs me a little when I peruse my babe ruth/ty cobb collection and 95% of them are graded and fit all nice in their storage box...then there are some raw cards that either noone will grade or I havent bothered/wanted to pay the price...and sometimes the top loaders stick to the slabs and i freak out thinking I lost them!!
Then I have binders full of cards from early 20th c-present that I prefer being able to handle and would likely never get sold or would be sold raw. thats my preference |

You might be correct...but my stomach is still holding out for 'flat lunch'.

Like others said, raw is great to learn from.
My first 40-50 t206’s commons I bought were raw so I could understand the intricacies of the cards…pull out a loupe and study them. Now that I have a little better of an understanding (still learning), I feel much more comfortable with the set and would feel better buying raw or graded I do like graded, because the uniformity of my SGC slabs in all the cards/sets I have pleases me, plus the protection. Don’t care as much for investment, but it certainly is something to consider for more expensive cards. Collect how you like, and be confident in your choice. One of my favorite things to do is buy raw and then grade the card knowing I got a better deal buying the raw than buying a slabbed version in the same grade. People often forget, it’s a hobby. Enjoy your hobby!

lately on social media/message boards, I see so many graded cards and pelican cases talk everywhere. It makes me wonder if in the future raw cards will be frowned upon by collectors as it seems everyone in the hobby likes psa graded cards! like many of you, growing up, graded cards werent a thing. you had raw cards and raw cards only! I miss that simplicity of collecting. I say that because back then, raw cards were it! nowadays too many people in the hobby are in it to flip and go! meaning tons of fake cards, altered cards, trimmed cards, etc, etc. so graded cards do safe guard these issues somewhat (I know not 100% but thats a whole different topic and a whole different thread!) I love raw cards but dont want to be stiffed with altered fake cards! I almost wish the hobby would go back to raw cards being cool (instead of graded cards being the go too) I know, I know collect what I like, but again. dont want to get stuck with fake cards! make raw cards great again!
