Ungraded heavyweights?

Are we sure that the Wagner in the original post is authentic?

No Wagners but I do have a raw 1914 CJ Matty...it looks better out of a slab and free to breathe.

My first opinion of the card was that it had to be fake because it wasn’t graded. Kinda why I created this tread. I can’t believe someone would own this card raw.but as Leon pointed out it is very possible to have a Wagner and it’s raw.

Likely not heavy weights, other than the Mantle, maybe, but a majority of my cards are not graded.
If I didn't live in Canada, that may be a different story, but since I do, with the exchange rate, shipping, duty, and the worry of them being lost/stolen, I really don't see me getting them graded anytime soon.

Like I have mentioned before, if I take a vacation sometime south where either SGC or PSA reside, then I may take these 3, and possibly some other high numbered cards with me at that time as long as I know ahead of time I can get them back before I come home?

I also believe many cards and other memorabilia are still out there, unknown to the hobby, undiscovered that someday will appear. I think of how many discoveries we hear about just on this site alone, so thinking all the old/rare cards are known about, is simply just blind thinking.

Personally, I like seeing/reading about them, even if they have affected the hobby numbers negatively as far as rarity/value goes.
