If it is a high dollar card that has been reprinted/counterfeited (33 Goudey Ruth for instance) probably graded.

If it is a more common low dollar card (33 Goudey Ernie Orsatti) probably raw.

2 things about grading
1 - It makes it a lot easier to sell cards on Ebay without the buyer worrying nearly as much about the authenticity.

2 - Grading has become a "Crutch" to use so people don't have to actually know or learn the difference between a real one and a reprint.
