Is grading still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing a pristine black label or looking to lock in the value of a high-end grail, raw might be the way to go lately. The market is getting pretty picky about centering and surface, so make sure you are only sending in your absolute best hits.

Totally agree, the grading standards have gotten so brutal that I’m only sending in sure-fire 10s now. Otherwise, I’m just enjoying the cards raw in my binder. 📈

Totally agree, the grading standards have gotten so brutal lately that it’s barely worth it unless it’s a sure 10. I’ve been sticking to raw lately to save the cash for more pickups. 📈
