PSA and SGC cases cracked without virtually any damage!

[DanP]

I’m only posting to warn everyone to inspect every slab you buy!

I cracked an SGC with a small screwdriver with virtually no visible damage. I did this a few months ago and unfortunately don’t know if it was a new slab. The card was an SGC 8 Jerry Rice.

I just cracked a NEW LABEL PSA slab by just twisting it back and forth (no tools). and the damage was hardly noticeable.

I just received graded cards back from CSG and HGA and will try to crack a card from each. Just a quick inspection, I don’t see how either can be cracked without damage (same as BGS).

Full disclosure: I am a PSA guy. Only because of their resale value. I’m hoping that one of their “competitors” someday really compete with them.

Also, I’m not looking to get into an argument on who is best, just looking to warn the group to be careful! It is way to easy to place a lower grade card in their slabs and resell.
