When I do buy graded, I aid with their escape.

I buy raw cards and graded cards - no strong preference. How should I vote in this poll, which doesn't appear to have a very good choice for me? I suspect there are many collectors like me.

100% raw
But since this forum is primarily focused on graded cards and cards as investment, I firmly expect to be in the absolute minority.

Just thought about this at the show I was at over the weekend - due to the wait for graded PSA cards - the last few years have been 90% raw - 4 months to wait is too long - so I have bought a good amount of raw this year for my shows and limit grading - Thanks Jimmy

Although maybe there are few who share your same degree of righteous zeal for raw cards, which makes you feel more like a minority around here. And maybe those who love graded cards aren’t willing to admit it to a pollster, for fear of being castigated.

"I prefer to buy graded cards, but may buy graded cards."
This confused me so I voted for it.

An assumption is that the following choice was incorrectly entered:
"I prefer to buy graded cards, but may buy graded cards." Should it be: I prefer to buy graded cards, but may buy raw cards."
