For pre-war, I would say around 30%. If someone had a collection 10 years ago, it would not have been graded. If they still have that collection and aren't considering selling it anytime soon, then it's still not graded. I don't think it's unreasonable for collections to remain 'hidden' for 30 years or more.

follow up
If one is a high-end collector, as is myself - with no intent to sell, as is myself - I see (IMO) that the dude will at least send them in for obvious reasons:
a) wouldn't collector want to know if their cards are legit? b) encapsulating is extra protection against damage c) would then be ready to sell if opportunity/need arises d) could unload non-legit cards to keep collection high-end e) can now be on "registry" - not 4 me but folks do like it f) have more pride in their overall collection Everybody has an opinion - I value all your input - thanks.

Just my opinions - not speaking for all...
a) I can authenticate from personal knowledge and hobby friends b) top loader provides as much protection as plastic c) grade if and when sale happens (I'm not in a rush), if necessary d) don't understand what this means e) not interested f) pride? I think they are fun but not sure I derive pride from the cards.

looks like I am wrong?
OK, I give, you guys are killing me. Guess my opinion is way off base. Maybe coins are much different than cards.
I wanna be shopping where you guys are shopping - have my bank roll wad of $100.'s ready to go. I would love to see that stack of ungraded T206 Walter Johnson's in legit PSA 5, 6 & 7 raw. Would be a sight for my sore eyes. Last edited by Touch'EmAll; 06-14-2012 at 11:40 AM.

exactly...
Mark - my point exactly - you just don't see this kind of stuff often, either raw or graded, and when you do its 9 out of 10 times graded - ungraded high end cards, especially raw, are almost never seen anymore.
For all those folks who claim there are tons, and millions out there, I would like to buy raw 1920's Exhibits of Ruth, Gehrig and Hornsby in equivalent PSA 5 and higher. PM me with your list and I will pay you top dollar.

The stuff you see is the stuff for sale. That's it. Why are you assuming that everything that is out there is for sale? As Adam stated, the only conclusion you can draw is that out of the stuff for sale, 90% is graded.
Many, many cards out there in people's collections that is not for sale even with an offer on the table. Trust me. There are some cards I've been pestering people about that just aren't going to come out of their collections. So, just because you see a catalog with cards in it or a table with cards on it or ebay with cards listed that are 90% graded doesn't mean that's all there is.

crackers
as there are several self proclaimed CRACKERS on this board, there will always be a supply of nice RAW cards since these people decrease the numbers of slabbed cards...
now when they or their kids try to sell these CRACKED cards, they will surely garner less interest and value than if they left them slabbed... smelling cards is overrated, and gross

I know of 4 or 5 old time collectors that have great collections of pre war cards, sports and non sports and they are not graded, so I think your number is high.
