Should I crack a graded card out?
Posted By: Hagar Henderson
I'm putting together a 1963 Fleer baseball set non-graded. I picked up a pretty good Willie Mays at a good price that happened to be PSA slabbed. It's graded as Ex-Mt 6. When I bought it I had intentions of of cracking it out of the slab so that I can put it in the album with the rest of the set. Now I'm having second thoughts about cracking it out. Do you think the grading increases the value enough to leave it slabbed? What would you do? I'm facing such a difficult decision. Please help me decide! |

Sometimes it's cheaper buying a mid grade slabbed card than a raw one. Your options, as I see it- |

OK, the decision is made. It's getting cracked. |

I don't know your collecting tendancies, but given mine this is what I would do. |

Well, it's done. I had to use bolt cutters to crack that slab. That was definitely the hardest slab I've ever cracked! |

It seems like the grading companies have moved from "tamper evident" slabs to "tamper resistent" slabs. I think that this choice jeopardizes the card. |

I think this slab was an anomaly. I've cracked a few before and never had to resort to bolt cutters. |

"3. Scan it and put the scan in your binder, and keep the slab separately." |

certainly better than cutting the actual card to size and sending the photocopy in for grading bumps! |
