Is slabbing still worth the premium in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing a gem mint 10 on a high-end grail, the grading fees just feel too steep right now. I'm leaning more toward raw cards for my personal binder collection since the market seems to be cooling on mid-tier slabs.

Totally agree, I’ve stopped slabbing anything that isn’t a clear 10 candidate since the fees just eat up the margins. Binder copies feel way more rewarding lately anyway. 🃏

Totally agree, raw cards have way more character for a binder anyway. I’m only sending in the absolute heavy hitters these days to save on the overhead 😅
