I see the same thing at card shows this year. Buyers looking to score off of raw buys. Dealers that have a ton of raw cards at cards shows do well.

But ask yourself this questions when you buy raw... if it is such a high grade card and raw, why is the dealer/GMC selling it this way? Why aren't they grading it?

Nail Hit on Head....Spot On. The dealers and Gm aren't grading because if they auction them off through ebay they know dummies will pay stupid numbers for them...why bother grading. Most of GM graded I would bet are purchased that way already graded or consignments.

This is why the grading companies love GM and raw dealers who have cards with nice eye appeal.

Well collectors certainly like dealers of raw cards with nice eye appeal. To many/most of us that's what collecting is all about. What a "grading" company thinks of our cards is irrelevant to us. It's whether a card meets our standards that's the key.
