This GEM was once in a GAI holder graded by them as 8.5, I am interested in some feedback on this.

    So did you send it to SGC in the GAI slab?

    Very carefully cracked it out for submission. I didn't want any 'external' influence on the grader to determine its condition. Thanks for the comments.

    Is the common consensus to go this route and crack out of original graded slab and resubmit in penny sleeve and semi rigid to your preferred grader, SGC, PSA?

    Then it was a "crossover", not a crossover, as you basically just graded a raw card. Still nice hit.

    It depends on the holder it is in and the purpose.

    But, in general profitability and resale, the PSA slab is most desirable followed by SGC and then Beckett, I suppose. After those three, for most collectors you get into some choppy waters.

    I still consider CSG to be new but we’ll see how they do.

    For Pro, GAI, etc. I think it is probably wise to get a nice card into the desired holder of your choosing, especially if you are looking to sell it.

    Congratulations @WeekendHacker !!!!

    Yes. In general you don't want the new grader to be influenced so you usually crack out.

    My “crossover” experience… I bought a Mint 9 Yugioh card in a bizarre (unrecognizable company) holder…smashed it out (not recommended) since the holder put up a fight… and still sent it in to PSA in the hopes of finishing my Mint 9 set… and of course… got a PSA 9!!!

    Maybe it was a PSA10 before all the smashing!!!

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one.
    Live long, and prosper.
