Is slab life still the meta for 2025?

Honestly, with the market shifting, I'm trying to decide if it's still worth the high fees to slab my binder gems or if I should just keep them raw. Are you all still chasing those pristine tens, or is the juice not worth the squeeze this year?

Honestly, unless it's a high-end chase card, I’m sticking to high-quality magnetic cases these days. The grading fees just eat into the margin too much for anything less than a guaranteed ten. 📉

Honestly, for modern stuff, I’m leaning more toward high-end raw unless it’s a true chase card. The grading fees just eat into the margin too much lately 📉

Honestly, unless it's a true high-end grail, I'm sticking to raw these days. The grading fees just eat way too much into the margins right now 📈
