Is grading still the move in 2025?

Honestly, the slab premium has been cooling off lately, but for those pristine high-end chase cards, locking in that gem mint grade is still the gold standard for my PC. I'm curious if you guys think it's worth the turnaround time or if you're sticking to raw binders this year.

I’m still grading my top-tier chase cards just for the peace of mind, but everything else is staying tucked away in the binder. The turnaround times are finally starting to feel manageable again anyway. 🃏

Honestly, I’m sticking to raw binders for mid-range stuff lately, but I still send the true grails off for grading. Nothing beats that encapsulated look for the centerpiece of the collection. 💎
