Is grading still the ultimate flex in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing a pristine Black Label or a Gem Mint 10 for your PC, the premiums just aren't hitting like they used to. I am still holding my raw grails for now, but the lure of a slabbed slab is always tempting.

Honestly, the market for mid-grade slabs is pretty dry right now, so keeping your grails raw feels like the smarter play. Nothing beats the feeling of a clean binder display anyway. 📈

I’m honestly with you, raw is the way to go unless you're chasing that specific pop report trophy. The slab tax is getting pretty brutal lately anyway. 😅
