In other words, my guess is that the number of ungraded cards, for top sets, is overstated here. But I could be wrong. Your views?

I have a different perspective. I think there are more raw cards than you believe there are. Old-timer collectors are still around and many despise grading companies. Of course as time goes on there will be fewer raw cards but today I think there are almost as many, or more, raw pre-war cards as there are graded ones. That is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth.
