randI find this to be a very hot subject for discussion. It so happens this example is Kit's card...but it does make a strong statement that many dealers with raw cards overstate the quality. I did buy 6 raw '33 goudeys from Kit 2 years ago all stating Ex+, i even called and spoke about the cards to make sure, i bought all 6, when they arrived maybe the best card was an SGC 50/4.. i sent them all back for a refund, I never bought another card from him again. I think its really the case of over grading and just waiting for an uneducated buyer to just pay the price. It never ceases to amaze me when they sell highend cards $500+ and wont get them graded...usually because the grading will actually be less than their assessment. I dont know about other board members..but i have been heart broken to many times buying raw cards from "Reputable" people and not getting what i was expecting. sometimes the scans just don't show enough.
