My 2 cents.....
Because most cards nowadays are purchased through the internet, then graded card makes you feel a little better in knowing that you are paying for what you are going to get on the other end.
I know that I have purchased a few T206s that were raw and a few things have happened:
1. The card looked good on eBay and ended up being "way" trimmed.
2. The card looked really, really good on eBay and once submitted, was told that it was "Trimmed" by a gradind company.
I wish I could go to only raw with my collection, but because 99% of my collection has been purchased off of the internet, I must rely on grading companies.
