Great topic as I was having this same discussion this weekend with some friends. I think the answer is what you prefer as a collector.
I think if you are buying as an investment to sell then get them all graded.
If your buying as a collector and not selling (at least in the near future) then you have options. Luke brings up some good options.
I started out doing all SGC. I have decided that I am going raw IN a binder except for my HOF's and some special cards. Most of my collection is in the SGC 40 range. I will end up displaying my graded cards on the wall.
My issue with everything graded is you just don't get to enjoy them as much IMO. It's so hard to look through 500 slabs vs going through a binder.
Just my 2 cents.
