Has (most) everything good been graded

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.

Let's be honest now, you don't find "stacks" of PSA 6 & 7 graded T206 Johnsons either.

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.

I agree - "...out of the stuff for sale, 90% is graded."

perhaps I should have reworded my original post with that specific contingency.

Perfectly said. I know of many extremely nice cards that aren't slabbed. They have been in private collections for 20 + years. If they were to ever be sold, they would likely get slabbed, but there is a TON of stuff out there in personal collections that aren't in slabs right now. People just don't know about them because they aren't sitting on eBay with a high BIN.
