JimC - Al did give you one example, that CJ set. I don't think there are many examples, but I'm sure every few years, there will be some like that set surface. The question really isn't if any exists...the question is how many. That we'll never know.

Al - A raw 1933 Goudey surfaced last year. The set wasn't hidden, some collectors knew about it...but it just wasn't graded. The owner of that set decided to sell, and it was graded by PSA. I think the average grade was roughly PSA 7.0 ... which would rank that set about 10th if PSA and SGC registries are combined. It was a great set of cards, but still fell way short of the 'absolute best'. So although I do think these great raw sets do exist (CJ is a great example), there aren't many.

So I guess I am somewhere between Jim and Al.

Lee - I was wrong...you got many quality responses in this thread.
