I've told this story before, but went with my friend in college to sell his Montana rookie. The guy told him it was in terrible shape and he's lucky to offer him anything for it.
A day later, there is was, sitting in the case marked as MINT.
Just last week went to look at a '75 Topps set the dealer said was NM. Not even close.
I like the TPG.
Still, plenty of raw cards out there.
