peter chaoJim,
I don't believe that most of the mint Pre-War stuff has been graded.
Probably the serious investor has over 50% of his pre-war near mint cards slabbed.
However, the serious collector probably outnumber the serious investor by at least 2 to 1. The serious collector is probably waiting for the "fad" of grading to blow-over. So he has less than 50% of his near mint cards slabbed. Or possibly, he's waiting for SGC to beat out PSA in the grading wars. Who knows. Personally, I'm more likely to get a card graded at a show than sending it through the mail.
So, it's quite possible that the best has yet to be slabbed.
