Hi, I'd like to cross an old red flip Sports Collectors Daily graded card. Do i need to crack this out or can i send it to PSA as is? I don't have a minimum grade, i'd like to just get it in a PSA label?

Does anyone know how to crack these out safely if i have to?

Thanks

    A drimmel and a flathead screwdriver are handy tools to own.

    any options which don't have me buying a $75 dremel?

    so i guess i can't just send it in straight in the SCD case and make them deal with it?

    Yes send to PSA in the SCD holder, as a crossover submission, and they will crack out for you.

    A dremmel doesn't cost $75. You don't need all the tools and attachments. The one you need is around $30 new at Wal-Mart. It is a decent tool to own - don't discount it.

    Also, crackouts aren't that hard. I use a very small flathead to get some separation, then switch to a larger one to split the slab. Good luck!
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    +1 Start at the top - never along the sides. Wear gloves in case the screwdriver slips. Or first, nip off the two top corners with wire cutters or lineman's pliers, then start working the sd into the separation.

    I used to just use a screwdriver until I slipped one day and the screwdriver flew into the case and damaged a 1964 Topps Mantle!! After that, I decided to learn a new method....lol.....

    Crack a top corner off with pliers, then a small flathead from there. Worst case, you damage the flip. Have probably cracked 250 cards without incident through the years this way.

    Just to clarify ...SCD grading refers to Sports Collectors Digest, which once had a grading division.

    Sports Collectors Daily is an online news website and not affiliated with "SCD" at all.
