What's the highest-graded card you've cracked out of a slab?

I cracked a PSA 10 once...PSA didn't give me a 10.5...I was upset and vowed never to use PSA again...I think I will start a thread.


Never cracked prewar card. I have taken modern and cracked PSA 9s in order to submit to BGS for the 9.5.

I only collect a few sets. I like slabs for my t206 because they denote the back on the flip. However, my low grade e120 set is all raw. I've cracked a few 4s, which I think is my highest.

There's a member here (can't remember his name) with a really cool raw t206 set, which includes a PSA 7 Cy Young and a signed Larry Doyle that he cracked out.

my green cobby was a sgc 50...i cracked it because I thought it deserved a 60...now it's a 45 in a psa holder.

I've only cracked once. It was a Gehrig Goudey graded an SGC 10. Second time around it came back SGC 20.

I've got a Koufax rookie in a PSA 5 holder that I keep thinking about cracking out and taking with me to spring training. But I can't get myself to do it.

I'm a set builder, and I buy raw and graded. I usually crack the graded ones and keep the cards in pages/binders. I actually just popped a SGC 86/7.5 high-number '53 Bowman today, which I'll crack out when it gets back. I think that will be the highest I've ever cracked out. I've cracked out some SGC 70/5.5 1934 Goudey commons. Most expensive was probably a T205 Mathewson that I cracked out of a SGC 30 holder to submit to PSA. Worked out in my favor that time.

So, a couple cards in the ~$300 range, but nothing more. I'd have to think long and hard before cracking out a big card, but I like to tell myself that I would!

I cracked out an SBC 98 T206 Revelle, it received an SGC 96.

I probably have cracked a 4 but I have cracked a lot of 1s and 2s. One of the 2s I cracked was marginal. I usually keep the flips and they will reholder it if you sell…I had a chance to sell it at auction (I upgraded…it was a cobb) so I got it reholdered. No problem. just sent it in with the flip and explained the holder had broken. Which is had. With the help of a screw driver.
