Raw Card

A trading card that has not been professionally graded or authenticated — sold loose without a grading case. Raw cards sell at a discount to PSA or BGS graded equivalents. Grading transforms raw cards into certified, standardised investments. Most casual trading card sellers on eBay AU sell raw cards for speed and simplicity. For cards potentially worth $50+, researching whether PSA grading is worth the cost and wait time is worthwhile.
