Raw Cards B/S/T?

[yanksfan09]

Don't see any need to overly complicate things. Many times sellers list a bunch of cards where some are graded and some are not from the same sets. Would be pointless and pain to have to split so many listings between multiple categories for people searching for the same cards.

Seems like going to the grocery and demanding that my cheese is not in a package, then leaving for home if it is.

A card is a card, Don’t like it…just open it up.

Respectfully thats a bad analogy and kinda snarky. I haven't "demanded" anything and certainly haven't said I would leave the forum.

Those of us who prefer ungraded cards would rather not pay the premium price for some random persons subjective opinion of what number should be assigned to the card. I only buy something graded when I feel the price is in line with what I would pay for it ungraded. Then I crack it out.
Thanks,
Chris

I apologize if it was read as snarky, it was not meant to be. Nor did I quote you and direct that comment. Not entirely sure how you saw it as a response to you.

In honesty in my experience it is more cost friendly to buy lower or mid graded cards than raw. The majority of raw cards I see sell for more than a similar graded counterpart due to gamblers thinking they are getter a higher grade card cheaper. This is why so many threads over the years have been complaining about case crackers selling good looking 5-6 cards, or trimmed out of the case because the buyers think they are getting an 8-9.

In most cases I can buy a graded 3-4 for less than an ungraded one. The number on non rare cards brings the price down.

This experience is why I have a hard time understanding the original premise of the thread. My personal experience has proven at auction (not BIN) I will get a much better price when getting slabbed on low grade.

I understand your point now. The gamblers on nice raw cards do make a difference. I had refreshed the thread that had died so thats why I took it as a response to me. My bad.
Happy collecting!
