Default At what point does buying graded become the higher risk?

I was emailing with a buddy today and we got to chatting about "amount of risk per dollar spent". Meaning that if a raw nrmt card sells for $20 but the same card slabbed sells for $100, which has more risk? If the raw version turns out to be bogus, you're out $20. The slabbed version has a less likely chance of being bogus, but if it is, you're out $100. The big question was, where is the tipping point? At what dollar amount (or multiplier of the raw price) does a graded card become a heftier gamble than it's raw counterpart?
