Is grading still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing that elusive pristine 10 for a high-end grail, I would say hold off on the slabs and focus on raw binder gems. The market is cooling on modern stuff, so don't dump your budget on grading fees unless the centering and surface are absolutely flawless.

Totally agree, the grading fees just eat too much into your collection budget these days. Honestly, nothing beats the feeling of a clean raw card for the personal binder anyway. 📈

Totally agree, the grading fees on modern cards are just eating up all the profit lately. Sticking to raw cards for the personal collection is definitely the way to go right now. 💎
