Unaccounted for Attic Finds, Garage Finds, Thrift Store Finds

I'm sure...that #1 all of these population reports are all boogered up (or in the very near future will be) by all of the cracking and regrading, which could lead to population manipulation and eventual market manipulation, and #2 that up to 80% of all collectors have non-graded or not previously publicly seen cards.

I live in a relatively rural area and I know of several major collectors from the 80's who have plenty of vintage that they are just sitting on, and yes, those collection include high grade non-graded material. I know of more than one former major dealer who were out before grading got popular with safe deposit boxes full of high grade vintage.

Trust me...there is a lot out there that has not been publicly seen. A lot. These population reports aren't the end all beat all, ya know. Take them with a grain of salt.
