Roger- Why would you crack it out of the PSA holder when trying to get a higher grade? You can re-submit it for a grade review while it is still encapsulated....

Simple. Because you have a better chance at getting a bump if you send the card in raw. Sending already graded cards in for reviews is like giving PSA free money lol. Total waste of time.

Not completely true. I recently sold a T206 Mathewson PSA 7 to a fellow board member, he submitted it and got a 7.5. It happens. I also know of a Net54 dealer that very recently had a 1960 Topps Mantle in a PSA 9. He submitted it for a review and got a PSA 10..

Those are certainly some disappointing results! I would never have tried to get a PSA8 upgraded by cracking it out. That would have been one to ask for a review while the card is still in the holder I guess.

It's a risky move but probably a greater chance for a bump. I would never crack an expensive card out when trying. But say you had PSA 9 Henderson that you feel could get a 10. The huge difference in value, 600 vs 30-40k, that might be worth the risk of it coming back altered or an 8.

This is a good point....My initial thinking was T206s which is slightly different
