Is slabbing still the move in 2025?

Honestly, unless you are chasing a pristine gem mint 10 to move some serious heat, I would say hold off on the grading fees and just enjoy your raw collection. The market is cooling down on mid-tier slabs, so save your cash for the next big raw pickup instead!

Totally agree, raw binders are where the real love for the hobby is right now. Grading fees are just eating into the budget for actual cards at this point. 🃏

Totally agree, raw binders are honestly way more fun to flip through anyway. Save that grading money for the next big grail hunt instead. 🤙

Totally agree, raw cards are way more fun to display and flip through anyway. Save that grading money for another grail instead! 📈

Totally agree, I’ve stopped sending in anything that isn't a guaranteed 10. Raw binder collections just have so much more soul these days anyway. 📁

Totally agree. The raw vibe is definitely winning right now, especially since those grading fees just eat into the hobby budget anyway. 📈
