It’s impossible to provide a meaningful answer without knowing the typical difference in value between the plus grade and the non-plus grade. And how do you define a “new buyer”?

Depends on what the coins look like. I will never buy a coin because of what its label reads.
I think it’s safe to assume it’s the same coin in either case.
I would think it would depend on how valuable the + grade is. I think the OGH is probably worth a 5-20% premium? (Again, assuming nothing about the coin itself.) If the plus is more than that, I think you are better off with the latter. While some would recognize the superior quality in the OGH and bid accordingly, I don’t think you’d get as much as if the grade were already higher.
The new holder, to a newbie that would probably seem more up-to-date. I would not expect a newcomer to realize that the older holders might be better until they had some experience.
OGH shows stability which is very, very important especially if it is a highly doctored issue. If the coin is high end, except in very rare cases where the registry effect creates an astronomical spread, you will get plus grade money if you are diligent in selling it in the right venue with the right marketing.

I look at it the same way I do football. There is a vast array of football games. Pee-Wee, junior varsity, High School, college, Pro. There is a vast array of involvement; have a kid play, be a coach , attend every game at some level, watch dozens of games on pay view every week. You can play fantasy games: want to make a bet? Must be a dozen apps and groups begging you to join their betting fraternity. How about gear, bling, collectibles. I could go on but i think you get the drift.
It is now, as it has always been, a simple fact. You get back what you put in. You can pull back or jump in with both feet; or set your own rules. It is true some people get manipulated, over whelmed or lose perspective on things but the vast majority of people just do their own thing and could care less about tiny degrees like this. James

edit: or the ogh thing

Amazing how one spelling mistake can change the whole concept of a post.
Neither. New buyers mostly buy raw.
Or do you mean a new slab buyer?
There is no answer to the question as asked.

New holder with +.
The one that looks the best would be the one to own.

What happened to Little Witcher?
I’d have to see the coin first…

I’ve never bought a slabbed coin. So to me, neither. I would first look at the coin before thinking about the slab.
For context: I like hunting them raw.
Is this what US coin collecting has become? A sad state of affairs.
A new buyer would choose what they have been convinced of. Most likely A green sticker.
Personally prefer classic green over new holders and the CAC service does nothing for me.

It’s one of the things that has made me pause collecting.
Witch one doesn’t matter, as long as it is genie.
