highest value slab you've cracked?

[ullmandds]

...a good reason...like selling a card?

[ScottFandango]

i have cracked plenty of E cards...

but it was for crossing over only! never to leave them cold and bare...

not too smart to send in a slabbed card as a crossover for obvious reasons...

Ive cracked a few Fan Craze 7's from their plastic tomb as the highest graded; several 34 goudeys including a couple deans and a foxx. I busted out my psa 2 '53 topps mantle and mays. I broke open my psa2 t200 tiger card...i think it was psa 2? I love the sound of the "pop" and holding my card for the first time...just like a kid!

I cracked this out: Jackie Robinson Bond Bread, Fielding No Ball in Glove

and then submitted to PSA - got upgraded to PSA 7:

have cracked around 100 pre-war slabs - mostly T206s, T205s, E121s etc that I've put into binder pages. Most expensive probably in the $500 area, though on average the value is around $30 per card. Most were lower grade anyway and I've kept the slips just in case.

My 1914 CJs are both raw and slabbed, however I purchased them. And any Lionel Carter cards I've purchased remain in their slabs for the neat "provenance" factor.

I have done very well sending in PSA slabbed cards to SGC for crossover. My best example was a PSA 4 T206 Cobb Bat On Shoulder with weak corners but otherwise clean than SGC put in an SGC 60 holder. In my view, SGC at least is not persuaded by the number on the PSA holder and will give your card a fair shake either way.
