I see the same thing at card shows this year. Buyers looking to score off of raw buys. Dealers that have a ton of raw cards at cards shows do well.
But ask yourself this questions when you buy raw... if it is such a high grade card and raw, why is the dealer/GMC selling it this way? Why aren't they grading it?

Because grading is a huge pain, it's expensive, it's criminally inconsistent, it takes forever, and they are already getting great prices selling them raw. Why go through the hassle of grading when you're already realizing top-notch pricing?
