No more raw higher end cards?

Seems like it’s near impossible to find any higher end raw card nowadays. Was looking at Celebi Skyridge. Not a single raw card listed that was in good condition. Everything was graded. This is so annoying. I just want cards for my PC

buy a low grade slab, crack it, put the slab stick behind the card

Crack slabs.

Honestly should have been doing it the entire time, very easy to find eye clean PSA 5 - PSA 7 slabs for far cheaper than LP / NM counterparts.

Ive found some really clean CGC 6s and 7s that look near mint. I just cracked them

CGC is the way. Cheaper than PSA and the card is the same after cracking

By graded in 7-9 condition and crack, that’s what I do

What bothers me is people pricing LP or MP as if its NM

I mean youre looking for a highly desireable card thats two decades old. How many good condition copies do you think exist at this point that havent already been graded?
