@tapped_out_tomBought this one already graded rather than chancing a sub. Paid maybe 15% over what the raw goes for.

@slabsorter15% over raw for a known grade is a fine deal. You're paying to skip the variance and the three month wait.
@subs_and_shippingDepends how many you send. If you're doing bulk the per card cost drops a lot and self subbing wins. For one card, buying slabbed is usually cheaper.
@cardboard_cynicyou also skip the part where it comes back an 8 and you feel sick about it
