Is grading still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are sitting on a pristine grail with perfect centering, the high fees are making me think twice before sending to PSA or BGS. I am leaning towards keeping my binder collection raw these days unless the card is an absolute slab-worthy gem.

Totally agree, the grading premiums just aren't hitting the same way they used to for mid-tier stuff. I’m sticking to high-end binder pages for anything that isn't a guaranteed 10. 📈

Totally agree, the grading fees just don't make sense for anything that isn't a guaranteed 10. I’ve been keeping everything in binders lately and honestly enjoying the hobby way more without the stress of slabbing. 🃏

Totally agree, the grading fees are getting out of hand unless it's a guaranteed 10. I’ve been loving keeping my favorite cards in a high-quality binder to actually flip through and enjoy lately. 🃏
