I think it is a big number too, but as cards switch hands, there is a more likely chance they will get graded. Most of the time, once they get graded, they stay graded. So eventually the pop reports will mean a lot more than they do now. As long as grading stays around, the % of ungraded pre-war cards will continue to diminish(even if big discoveries are made).
I personally have over 1000 pre-war cards, a good % of them raw and I have never sent anything to be graded. There are some things I have though, that I might eventually sell and I'd get them graded first.
