What is the point of cracking a card out of a holder?

This is kind of an irritating thing to me, at least. I just don't understand why one would buy a slabbed card and then crack it out of the case.

Obviously I understand if the card is a card that has eluded the collectors collection for some time. But I doubt very much that that is even a small percentage of crackers.

I've also seen people show the flip when trying to sell the card. "Freshly cracked out of a PSA 5 slab" or something like that. Wouldn't you have gotten more money for it being in the slab?

It screws up the pop reports which are probably nowhere near correct anyway. You're taking greater risk at the card getting harmed. And whomever submitted it spent quite a decent chunk of change getting it slabbed.

Am I the only one that doesn't like this practice? I think I'm probably in the minority here but I might even go as far as saying I can't stand it. If you want to crack a card just by a raw example instead. Who knows how many times a card has been slabbed and cracked when it finds your collection.
