This is the highest value slabbed card that I've ever cracked that had a potential to go down in grade (because of chipping or size requirements). It did, but then upon re-cracking, it went up. I've cracked a higher value card that was already a beater, so I knew it would get a Poor in the new holder anyway. Obviously, since I'm a slab proponent, I would never crack and leave the card raw permanently.
