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,

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.
