OK---first, to the broader blogging community, you folks kick butt!! Many thanks to your responses to the
Cards I will Acquire Post.
Second,
Cy Seymour has arrived over at Condition: Poor. Check it out!
I've left comments on other's blog on how to do this, and like I say in the vid, I don't want people screwing up great cards on my advice. I've only done this with low value cards, so my hands weren't shaking or anything. As a disclaimer, I read books for a living, so do this at your own risk! (LOL) I stole the PSA image from Fielder's Choice. In the video I crack a UD Pedro RC from 1991, destroying it's value. A slabbed PSA 9 is worth about $1000 Beckett (just guessing) where the unslabbed raw card will net about 50 cents or so.
Here's the
Youtube link. (My God I've gained a few since Thanksgiving. Time to hit the gym)
Now, in the video I go in from the bottom left corner. Thinking about it, you're better off probably going from one of the top corners where the PSA labeling is. That way there's even less a chance you'll damage the card.
Have a great one and goodnight Pumpsie Green, wherever you are!
