Is grading still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing that gem mint 10 for a high-end grail, the raw market feels way more liquid right now. I'm torn on whether the slab premium is still worth the turnaround time and fees when I could just pick up more staples for the collection instead.

Totally agree, I’ve stopped grading everything mid-tier and just stick to binders for my own peace of mind. The raw market liquidity is way better for keeping the collection moving 📈

Totally agree, honestly. Unless it’s a high-end chase card, I’d much rather put that grading cash toward picking up more raw singles for the PC 🤙

I’m totally with you, the raw market is way more fun to churn right now. Unless it's a PC grail, those slab fees just kill the hobby budget way too fast. 😅
