I've bought raw sight unseen from a few dealers. Mark Macrae has always been really solid, his grading is accurate IMO and if I do send them in to get graded always seem to be spot on. The last time I bought a card from Wayne Varner that he listed as EX it was much better than that, and it ended up grading a 7.
Levin seemed a bit liberal on his grading, as did Kit Young. Both will take returns with no questions, so there really isn't a risk, and both a great to deal with. I bought twice from Fritsch and they were so far off I sent them back and won't even bother looking again. Lipset grades about the same as Fritsch and anything below his given grade of EX is a real adventure.
