To crack or not to crack, that is the question.

Set it free Ed!

Hi Ed, as an acid collector of 52 topps, I dont think cracking it out would have it lose value. Also, it would then fit better into your set. I dont advise cracking anything that would lower the value. Best of luck in the search

Erik and Ted,

Thanks. That is what I hoped I would hear.

Ed, sounds like you've made your decision. I agree, crack it out and don't look back! Congrats on the Pafko!

Cards free from imprisonment are not "raw" , they are in their natural state

Robert,

Thanks. I was pretty excited to get the card, even if it is a little "worn". Glad it was enjoyed by it's previous owners over the past 62 years! Andy will be liberated from the holder very soon.

Agree with Ted.....lose value, don't crack.....stay about the same, crack it out to fit in......
