i buy and sell raw cards, sometimes a card might look like itll grade high in a scan but the surface can be scratched causing the card to lose significant value when graded, theres long turn around times with graders, alot of sellers just dont want the hassle of grading, its difficult to find gems when buying raw cards breakers who buy cases of cards will sell stuff very slightly off center or top to bottom its off or the back is way off, if the deal seems too good to be true theres probably an issue with the card, if your looking to buy gem 10's gotta overpay for raw cards or ya'll just keep gettin i learned that lesson! sometimes i get even when i do over pay
