ratio of psa 8 graded t206 cards to ungraded cards that would grade 8 or better?

Frank,
Let's see scans of some of your nm/mt raw T206s.

Ted,
Thanks for that info. I think I know one of the sets you are speaking of. But even with Ted's knowledge of these two high-grade sets, I would guess that he knows a good percentage of the old-time T206 collectors who still have raw high-grade sets and he can think of two that are that nice and those are mostly ex/mt to nm.

There are 2224 PSA 8s, 257 9's, and 13 10's for a total of 2484 nm/mt or better T206s graded. I did NOT look up SGC totals, but if we take PSA's totals here to be the total, if someone argues that more that 20% of the total nm/mt or better T206s are not yet graded, you are saying there are nearly 500 raw nm/mt T206s out there. I seriously doubt that at this point. I am sure there are great sets out there, like Ted mentioned, but I seriously doubt that many would grade out that highly. Remember that we are not talking about NM 7's here - just nm/mt 8 and above.
