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.

I have cracked a few SGC 60's but cant see myself going higher than that. Some cards look so good in the holder its hard.

I crack the majority of my cards especially with my '56 Topps set and my OJs. I do have an Orange Border Chase, PSA 4.5 1952 Topps Feller, and another rarer card on its was that will stay slabbed.
I guess based on the OP I should state I've cracked a PSA 4.5 OJ and SGC 84 (7) 1956 Topps.

Not really a vintage card but it fit my HOF rookie card collection. I was at a local card dealer and for a few bucks sold me a GEM Grading Gem Mint 10 Randy Johnson 89 Topps RC. I cracked it and sent it to SGC...Whadda Ya know it came back a Gem Mint 10!!

I think the OP meant has anyone cracked cards out to enjoy raw, not to gamble on getting a higher grade.
I pretty much only collect graded cards, but I do think it would be cool to have an older vintage set in a binder. I think I've seen someone post a raw CJ set here on Net54 he had in one. I have mid grade 73 and 75 topps sets in binders that I bought off of craigslist. I have never personally cracked a card for any reason though and probably wouldn't unless it was to regrade.

Well, that's primarily what I was thinking of, based on my own experience, but I realize that people crack out cards all the time hoping to get a higher grade, and the question is interesting to me in that context too. There's obviously the danger that you might bump or otherwise damage (however slightly) a very high-grade card in the process of cracking it out, but it seems that some people here have cracked out very high-grade cards and had them successfully regraded. Kudos to those people for their steady hands.
