There are many good reasons to go for graded notes by reputable&nbsp; grading companies. Espically if your newer to the collecting type your looking at. Also for online or phone purchases...heck even if friends are trading them it&#039;s nice to have a second opinion to make sure the two of you are being fair to each other. Counterfeits and high grade and expensive notes need some help too many times to figure out what it&#039;s worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>Troodon,</p><p>You are right too. If you have experience in the type your buying or have the patience to only look in person, can grade well on your own and get around to see plenty of examples then raw is the way to go. Buying online for paper is much too risky in raw most of the time and if your good at grading you will do well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me....I like both <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I&#039;d take a graded note anyday. No reason not to if it&#039;s the same price IMO, you can always cut it out of the holder. But if a note is raw that I like I&#039;ll self grade it (like I do in a holder too) and purchase it. </p><p>Why not get the best of both worlds if you can?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
