Is the slab tax still worth it in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are sitting on a grail card with perfect centering, the premium over raw isn't what it used to be. I am sticking to high-end binders for my collection this year to save on those brutal grading fees.

Totally agree, the grading backlog and fees just aren't hitting the same way lately. I'd much rather put that cash toward more singles for the binder instead. 📈

Totally agree, the grading backlog and fees just aren't worth it for mid-tier stuff anymore. I’ve been moving everything into high-end side-loaders and honestly, it looks way better on the shelf. 🃏
