Is slabbing still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are sitting on a true gem mint grail, I am starting to wonder if the grading fees are eating too much of the profit margin. That said, nothing beats the look of a pristine slab in the PC, so I might just keep sending my personal favorites to PSA anyway.

I feel that. At this point I’m mostly just grading for the PC display rather than hoping for a massive flip. 🧊

Totally agree, the grading fees are getting brutal lately. I’m sticking to slabbing just for the PC grails and leaving the rest raw for the binder. 📈

I feel that, the margins are definitely getting razor thin lately. I still slab my absolute favorites just for the display factor though, it’s just too satisfying to look at. 📈

I feel that, the margins have definitely gotten tighter lately. I’m only sending in my absolute favorites for the PC now too, just for the display value 💎

Totally agree, the grading fees are getting brutal lately. I’m sticking to slabbing only the true heavy hitters for the PC and raw-dogging the rest to save my wallet. 📈
