What's the highest-graded card you've cracked out of a slab?

[Luke]

I only collect a few sets. I like slabs for my t206 because they denote the back on the flip. However, my low grade e120 set is all raw. I've cracked a few 4s, which I think is my highest.

There's a member here (can't remember his name) with a really cool raw t206 set, which includes a PSA 7 Cy Young and a signed Larry Doyle that he cracked out.

my green cobby was a sgc 50...i cracked it because I thought it deserved a 60...now it's a 45 in a psa holder.

I've only cracked once. It was a Gehrig Goudey graded an SGC 10. Second time around it came back SGC 20.

I've got a Koufax rookie in a PSA 5 holder that I keep thinking about cracking out and taking with me to spring training. But I can't get myself to do it.

I'm a set builder, and I buy raw and graded. I usually crack the graded ones and keep the cards in pages/binders. I actually just popped a SGC 86/7.5 high-number '53 Bowman today, which I'll crack out when it gets back. I think that will be the highest I've ever cracked out. I've cracked out some SGC 70/5.5 1934 Goudey commons. Most expensive was probably a T205 Mathewson that I cracked out of a SGC 30 holder to submit to PSA. Worked out in my favor that time.

So, a couple cards in the ~$300 range, but nothing more. I'd have to think long and hard before cracking out a big card, but I like to tell myself that I would!

I cracked out an SBC 98 T206 Revelle, it received an SGC 96.

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.

LOL, this reminds me of the old George Carlin joke:

"I've never banged a 10, but one night I banged five 2's"
