Is slabbing still the move for modern grails in 2025?

Honestly, the pop report inflation makes me hesitate, but that pristine BGS black label or PSA 10 gem mint still hits different for the personal collection. I am leaning towards grading only the true chase cards to keep the long-term value high.

Totally agree, I’m only sending in the absolute top-tier stuff these days to avoid cluttering the collection. The pop inflation is real, but that slab aesthetic for a personal grail is still top notch. 📈

Totally agree, at this point I’m only sending in the absolute top-tier stuff to avoid wasting money on the pop report grind. It’s definitely quality over quantity for the PC these days. 📈

Totally agree, the pop reports are getting scary but there’s just something about that slab presentation that makes a PC staple look elite. I’m sticking to only the absolute top-tier grails for grading moving forward too. 💎

Honestly, I'm only slabbing the absolute grails at this point too. The pop counts on modern stuff are just too scary for anything else, but you can’t beat that slabbed look for the PC. 💎
