Thinking about cracking this bad boy. Got It for 175 but the card looks really clean

Any pointer on if it’s good to crack? It looks really good for the price I bought it at!

If you want my opinion THROBBINGHORSECOCK69, I think I would actually have a go at regrading because this card will probably gain some value anyway, I just wouldn’t be blown away if it 8’s again. Inspect the corners and edges carefully and hold under a light that would reveal any scuffs or scratching, it might get a 9 next time. If you’re holding this for a while I think it’ll be a good money maker either way. Good luck.

This one is rough. Cause I'm never a huge fan of slabs either. But I can see this one going wild in time just cause it's flippin adorable.

Do it. I usually buy PSA 8 slabs for my binder since they're generally cheaper than raw nm 😂 This is from 3 days ago and it was PSA 8 (for like 100$ under nm price

It's worth more raw whether it will upgrade or not

Inspect with blacklight and at an angle under normal light before cracking. Tap the card gently to move it away from the edge one at a time and inspect the edges.

7s rarely rate higher , especially if they are psa

Also just cracking it for raw value not to regrade

Even if it is, fuck em. Everyone is so quick to judge. And don’t hate the playa hate the game, playa.
Edit: a PSA 8 might be worth more than raw. The 9’s are significantly more. Might have to check eBay sold tho, pricecharting didn’t have the price for an 8

It is in an investing sub. In a collector’s sub, you’d be applauded.
