A value of a "raw" book means you are grading the book yourself. A "graded" value is a book that has been graded by a third party company like CGC or CBCS that collectors send to the company to be graded by them. Which depending of the grade that is given of book can make the value higher than a raw.
Some collectors think it is safer to buy books graded by third party companies than a book graded by you or other collectors/sellers. In high dollar books getting a "graded" book is safer to know the grade is correct since some collectors or sellers grades can be all over the place from one collector to another in the way they grade.
I'm sure others will explain better but I'm sure this explains well enough. Happy collecting!

Yes it cost you money to use their services. It isn't that cheap to get a book graded by a third party company. You pay to ship the book to them, you pay for them to grade the book and pay for return shipping.
