most of us T205 collectors can eyeball the raw cards with good enough F/B scans to determine a fair grade. Yes grading will deffinitaly help but is not completely necessary as some don't buy or collect graded. Make a list w/prices and post on the BST. What doesen't sell dump on Ebay. I am sure we all would make an offer for a card we may think is a bit above market, just buy the others priced right. Alterations also is an issue with raw. They would need a guarentee to grade numerically before you got full value also. I hope this helps.
