Is grading still worth the hype in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are sitting on a rare gem mint grail, the slabs might just be shelf queens these days. I am leaning towards keeping my binder collection raw and pristine because the market for modern hits feels like a total coin toss right now.

Totally agree, the grading fees just don't make sense for anything less than a 10 these days. I’ve shifted back to high-quality binders too, honestly feels way more rewarding to actually flip through the collection. 🃏

Totally agree, the grading fees on modern stuff just eat into your margins too much these days. I’ve been sticking to binders lately too and honestly enjoy the collection way more that way binders are back in style for a reason binders are just better. Binder gang for life. binders are back. binder love.
