When you received the raw cards did you feel that they were near mint? Or did you not feel competent to express an opinion and looked to PSA to do it for you? I'm not denigrating you if the latter; I am merely trying to understand your post. I've gotten lots of raw cards described as near mint that were 5's at best, but I knew it the instant I looked at the cards. I like to have my cards slabbed for the protection and look of it but I don't need them to tell me what the card grade is (except on rare occasions when I want a third party opinion because I can't really decide).
