Default Secretly a buyer's market?

With graded card prices soaring and TPG wait times and fees heading into stupidville, could there be a silver lining? Outside of high-dollar cards, I would expect to see a fair amount of ungraded (raw) material come up for sale. After all, it doesn't make sense to wait a year and pay $100 to grade cards worth a few hundred bucks.

Anyone having any luck working around the madness?

There's other grading company besides PSA though
SGC is starting to catch up on the delay
new company CSG, HGA , these seems legit as well.
I would see those getting other company getting more popular

Hi Anson,

In a weird way, what you are saying is true. Grading companies are definitely out of control between PSA wait times and SGC’s ineptness. I do have one card I paid the $100 for grading but I wanted it quickly and to match the rest of the display. I was not willing to pay them extra to slab silks that didn’t need mylar so had them not grade my silks and grade only one card in my submission. If SGC believed in customer service, they would have listened instead of losing a long time client. So not I have ungraded silks that would sell for less if I tried. Also not willing to sent to PSA and wait 10 months if they even grade them. If you are willing to buy raw cards now, you could get a deal.
