Im with you slobs. Im not a big fan of graded cards as well. Id rather break a BGS 9.5 to match with my other cards ungraded. sweet pickups as always. a Pip legend!!!
Its still a 9.5 condition Pippen, its just out of the corrupt case that BGS put it in. Its still the same card, nothing has changed. Such a rare card it shouldn't effect its value much even as well.
I busted out a KG E-XL Blue RC, used a knife, gradually worked around all the edges, stabbing it in a bit til it cracked and could get it out, bit worried it might pierce the card but eh, worked ok!
I busted out a KG EX-L RC, used a knife, gradually worked around all the edges, stabbing it in a bit til it cracked and could get it out, bit worried it might pierce the card but eh, worked ok!
it did cross my mind to keep it in there because it did look however ive got the mystery finest set up in sleeves for the set to complete and i couldnt have a slabbed in there!! thanks for the comments lads...working on a BGS 10 to bust next!
