Would you buy a high end (10k) raw card?

[Rhotchkiss]

I bought this Yellow Chance raw (it now its in an SGC flip, I think a 3). Seller guaranteed a numerical grade, but no minimum (could have come back a 1 and I was stuck). This is not the first big boy card I have acquired raw.

I also bought an entire E107 set raw, which includes several cards that are worth over $100k each and many 5 figure cards (see examples below). The set now sits in SGC flips.

My decision to buy a raw card depends on several factors, including, among other things, who the seller is, if it is brokered by a 3rd party and who that is, if I inspect it in person, price, and whether the seller will guarantee me a numerical grade.

Generally speaking, I strongly prefer to acquire cards that are already graded and I am generally skeptical of high-dollar cards that are not graded. But some people do not grade and could care less. Those people exist and you cant let a good one get away when the facts and circumstances are right
