Do people buy graded cards from other companies then open the slab and submit to PSA?
Thanks,

Here is a thread I started with a link to a video I made showing what I feel is the most effective way to crack open a BGS slab. You can use this method on any third party graded holder.
It can be very risky at times but also rewarding. If you are new to grading I would say get comfortable with how PSA grades cards before you rush out and try the crack and resub game. There can be quite a bit of heartache if you are not carefull.

Great video! But I am a long way from doing that! I'm still green around the ears, lol

For the most part I am no longer even trying.

My personal experience has probably been a 25% crossover rate. My two biggest disappointments have been 1) a 77 Topps Carew graded BGS 9.5 that i paid $100 for come back Min Size Req and a 77 Garvey graded SGC 96 come back a 5.

LOL Yeah that could be it!

IMO, your chances of crossing over are drastically reduced if you don't crack them out.

It depends on the card for me...crack or submit straight. My results for straight slab crossover is pretty good, around 70% but I scrutinize heavily before buying and submitting.
Cracking will usually yield the most objective opinion, though.

You can submit in a slab? What does PSA do, put their sticker om?

They will pull the card out of the old slab and put it into a PSA slab. How they open the slabs from Beckett, SGC, etc., I don't know, but I know they do it safely.

I think you are right. I mostly deal in 70s cards but I can see where a review might be okay for a lot of cards (especially for more modern cards).
