As a buyer who does most of my buying on ebay, most of my purchases are in graded cards. There are very few sellers I trust enough to buy an ungraded card from on ebay. Plus, although I would love to have more Old Judge cards my experience in this area is limited. I feel more comfortable buying graded cards or from the few dealers I feel comfortable with. Consequently I would be willing to pay more money for a graded card. Many new collectors probably feel they are guaranteed a legitamate card with the grading companies and while veteran collectors know that this scenario is not the case it probably leads to more bidding on a given card.
