I buy both...and crack anything graded. I do save the labels, although I don't know why. If I was a buyer on something raw I wouldn't care if they had the labels, who is to say it belongs to that card? The only thing I like about graded cards is busting them out, and I have done a LOT. I do have to say though, I could care less about the investment part of this hobby...I love the cards, and these are all for my 8 year old son...
