Part of the annoyance with the BGS case was the surface scratches and marring that really took away from its glory. Now freed from its cage all that remains is the thick inner sleeve in which she is sealed. The only way to free her from these chains is to cut her free...

Easy peasy right? Just Scoot the card over and cut in a straight line, nothing to it...

Reverse bottom right corner has flaking and I am not touching it. Time to put her in a fresh sleeve and card saver.

I can breathe easy now, she's in a new home and the sheen and sparkle as the light refracts off her surface is simply sublime.

I don't care for graded cards myself, but having a card like that in my possession without it being slabbed (for protection purposes) would make me nervous as heck.

Grading is ridiculous, have submitted many cards that I knew were a psa 10 only to get 8.5 or 9s and many that I prayed would get a nine...bam a 10! But the market speaks volumes as to price. Wish I knew someone that worked at PSA?

Does he really even need to hit the mound again with triple crown like numbers every year? LOL, make him a closer!

I don't. I kind of just chose a SSP A/G rookie and went all in. Liked the image. That said, I'm now open to expanding my pallet since I'm not buying any current year

Shohei Ohtani homers (13) on a fly ball to left field. Mookie Betts scores.

I know his swing but every time I see it I'm still in awe. Really smooth.

In honor of Ohtani day in LA. Heres my Ohtani, just arrived from PSA. It's in the new PSA slab they announced. It is noticeably heavier

I know about the triple crown, but has there ever been a player to do the Quad, HR, RBI, AVG, HITS?
