Is slab-hunting still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing a true grail for the permanent collection, the gem mint premiums feel a bit soft right now. I am leaning toward raw for the binder, but nothing beats that shiny slab look on a fresh 10 grade.

I'm totally with you, the raw market is way more fun for building a collection right now. Nothing hits like cracking a fresh 10, but the premiums just aren't justifying the hunt lately. 😅

I'm right there with you; the premiums on modern 10s are just too steep when you can hunt down high-quality raw copies for the binder instead. Nothing beats the thrill of hitting a perfect grade on a self-sub though! 💎
