Keep in mind that the internet age of collecting is still very young, less than a couple of decades old. Many cards still reside in collections that were gathered prior to the 90's and have yet to hit the market, let alone been put on a scanner bed or graded by a TPG. New confirmations of previously unknown cards continue, and will for some time to come.
Exactly right. There are still finds of original collections, plus old collections from before grading was common. My own is 184+ with only 34 graded, And probably half or more of the currently ungraded 150 won't be graded any time soon. There's just no reason to grade terribly creased and worn commons with common backs.
