Is grading still worth the slab premium in 2025?

Honestly, unless you're sitting on a pack-fresh grail that's a lock for a pristine 10, the high grading fees are tough to justify lately. I'm leaning more toward raw cards for the personal collection unless the centering is absolutely flawless.

Totally agree, these days it's mostly just about eye appeal for the binder anyway. Paying a premium for a slab just doesn't make sense unless it’s a true centerpiece for the PC. 📈

Totally agree, the grading fees are getting out of hand unless it's a true high-end investment piece. I’ve been sticking to raw for the binder lately too, it's just more fun that way. 📈
