For my findings it was. I see a PSA 9 for $35 right now. Raw is selling for roughly $30

how hard was the bgs slab to crack?

Definitely harder than PSA and CGC. I used wire cutters and felt like the case was harder in comparison to other slabs. Also had to slowly crack off a bigger piece before I was able to get a flathead screwdriver in. All in all not too bad still and I never felt like I was in danger of damaging the card

One psa, one bgs, one cgc.
The bgs laminate sleeve was so annoying that I’ll probably never buy another one to crack lol.

Somehow, I think Beckett is the only slab I haven’t cracked yet. It looks thicker than the others - is is still decently easy to open up?

Yea it’s same same but different. From easy to difficult I rank it:
CGC/SGC - least difficult
BGS - medium
PSA - most difficult

Really great cards that you cracked! Super awesome! You are also a binder collector predominantly yes? You have some great binder pics.
Cheers!

Binder collector for sure! I was going through some binders today and saw the empty holes since I had them graded, Decided today was the day to pop some of these out. I need to keep updating my collection thread I made a couple months back.

Could find my wire cutters so went with kitchen scissors that surprisingly did the job with ease. There’s 3 pin pricks bottom left but the holo is extremely clean. Mint card outside of the small prick marks.
Can’t show the binder page (waiting for 9 copies) as it goes straight in the display.

The SGC slabs just look like they’d slide open easily! Is that the case?
Beautiful pick up. Thanks for sharing
