Gehrig 1925 Exhibit

Not sure what your basis is to say a lot out there not graded. Could be true or not. Any evidence besides a raw hunch?

Maybe he took 5 seconds to conduct a survey?

Been collecting a long time and know of a couple raw ones in collections including mine. Took less than 5 seconds for that and no survey needed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but TPGs have been grading these cards for how long? 10-12 years. Look at how many have been graded over the last year. They will continue to come out most likely for another 10-20 years is my guess. Still a low population on them and it shouldn't affect the market or value one bit. If anything, it will create a very popular market as they won't be the impossible dream to own.

Not specific to the Gehrig, but it's one of those topics that gets debated from time to time here: how many high grade/valuable raw cards are still out there. We get opinions ranging from the romantic notion that there are countless guys still sitting on pristine raw collections and that graded cards are still a drop in the bucket, to the opposite notion that the high prices commanded by graded cards have resulted in most high grade cards being submitted already. But other than anecdotes, I don't think anyone really knows or even has an educated guess.

Seems like someone has an ungraded one and knows of two others. I guess that means there are many ungraded. Ok. I'm convinced based on that. Again, not saying it's wrong. But we can all speculate.

Funny thread. On the PSA 4 vs SGC 60, I was lucky enough to have owned both years ago, they are great 1925 examples. Gloss/tint wise they are very similar when looking at them side by side, biggest difference between the two was corner wear. I always felt both were accurately graded.

Thank you for clearing that up, Scott. Really shows how much difference scans can make.
