I haven't tried it, but I have a stack of 9.5s I eventually want to (hopefully) cross over to PSA 10s.

Honestly, as Director of Beckett Grading for 15+ years, the feedback I always received was that PSA is very hesitant to cross SGC or BGS/BVG cards... that your chances are far better submitting them raw. I will say it is hard to see the nuances of the cards through the holders so I understand their hesitation with assigning a grade before they can crack the holder.
If you crack it first, you also are not guaranteed the option of getting it back in a BGS 9.5 holder if PSA doesn't grade it a 10. So it is a huge gamble. Honesty is the best policy with BGS - crack it, send it to PSA, if it isn't graded a 10, send back the card, the original BGS flip and the slab and tell them you tried to cross it but would like it regarded in a BGS 9.5 (or review for Pristine). Unless it looks like the card was monkeyed with, they will probably regrade it the same. Still, not a guarantee. Personally, I would only try resubmitting (in holders) BGS 9.5's back to Beckett that are close to a 10, and PSA 10's that are close to a BGS 9.5 or 10, but wouldn't mess with cracking BGS 9.5's for PSA to look at. To big of risk versus a very meager reward usually. Mark

In my opinion, a 10 is often an arbitrary grade. I would guess that if you took 50 well centered 9s and 50 10s of the same card and cracked them out and resubmitted, the results would be dramatically different, if not random.

I don't see how it is possible to crack a gem mint card from a slab without causing the minute amount of damage necessary to differentiate a gem mint card from a mint or near-mint-to-mint card. Do you guys employ the services of robot surgeons?

I have quite a few psa 10s of modern cards that would be worth substantially more if they could cross to BGS pristine. Has anyone successfully pulled that off? I would be hesitant to crack myself for obvious reasons.
