Raw vs Certified... which way to go?

How do you build a better collection?

After spending the past month scouring the usual sources for 9.4 CGC copies of Our Army at War, I have found about 8 and purchased 4 of them. Truthfully, I thought that there would have been more buying opportunities out there. I'm quite suprised that there aren't more slabbed 1975-1976 books on the market.

Then, there are raw books purported to be in 9.4 - as we all know, few dealers grade as tighty as CGC, and since I live far from large shops and cons, I have to rely on internet deals. Sometimes books come back looking 9.4, while other come back looking 8.5 - not particularly reliable.

So, am I better off buying raw and submitting, or holding out until nice certified copies appear? Tough call, but in truth, I am leaning towards holding out for the already certified copies.

But man, are they scarce.
