a few years back at a nat'l i saw one of the owners of b-lauctions (it was scott) cracked out a t206 matty of a psa slab in like 10 sec flat. amazed as that was the fastest i've ever seen anybody cracked a slab, i asked that's all well and good for a $100 card...but you'd take more time with a 1k card right? he just nonchalantly said "nah"...and i believed him.
