Is slabbing your hits still worth the premium in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are sitting on a true gem mint grail, the grading fees might be eating too much into your margins these days. I'm leaning toward keeping my raw collection binder-fresh instead of chasing those elusive 10s.

Totally agree, with how high fees have gotten lately, I’d rather put that cash back into buying more singles for the binder. Raw is definitely the way to go unless you're absolutely certain you've got a PSA 10 contender. 📈

Totally agree, unless it's a major chase card, the cost of grading just doesn't pencil out anymore. Sticking to high-quality binders is definitely the move for keeping the collection looking clean without the overhead. 📈
