Are you going to send it in the PSA slab or crack it out first?

I know that this wasn't directed at me, but b/c of me being handicap, I have no way of cracking the PSA/SGC slab. So I have to send the cards in those slabs.

I cracked it out of the slab and sent in during the last week of January, so I should see the results in a few more weeks. I will post before and after pics.

On a side note, I have found that cracking slabs are easier to do on a PSA case more than a BCCG case.

I guess you can ignore my edit I just put into my post above then.

Oh boy you're going to stir up a hornet's nest.

Don't really know why. The question is completely valid. This isn't a "bash BGS" thread.

I have crossed a PSA 8 Jordan RC to a BGS 8.5 (didn't crack). From what I've read elsewhere, a BGS 9.5 with a 9 subgrade won't cross to a PSA 10. Not that I don't believe that, but I have personal experience crossing BGS 9's to PSA 10's without cracking the slab. The only reason I received 10's is because PSA didn't recognize a particular surface flaw as a "flaw." To me it seems odd if it is the case that PSA would automatically reject a BGS 9.5 if a subgrade is a 9.

Maybe I will try and see what I get on a few card. I have a BGS 8 2003-04 E-X Carmelo Anthony I wonder if I can get a PSA 9 for it. Maybe I should get some of my vintage cards regraded to see what it gets.
