Very good point. I have heard from several old time collectors that there are a lot of raw nice rare cards out in the world which have never been slabbed or counted or tabulated and which some day in the future will find their way on to the market. Mark Macrae indicated once to me that there are several anonymous collectors who have large collections of unslabbed, untabulated PCL cards.
