Is slabbing still worth the premium in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing a pristine Black Label or a high-end PSA 10 gem, the raw market feels way more fun right now. Grading fees are steep, so I am only sending off my absolute crown jewels to get encased this year.

Totally agree, the raw market feels so much more accessible lately. I’m only slabbing the true grails now to save on those brutal grading fees. 📈

Totally agree, raw collecting has that authentic vibe that plastic slabs just kill. I’m only grading my top hits now too, otherwise it’s just not worth the overhead 📉
