    Question how do you unslab a PSA graded card?

    I hate graded cards comics figures and anything graded but i just get a sweet deal on a Mickey Mantle card but it's graded so anyone know how hard it is to unslab a graded card and the best way to do it ?

    Put it in a vice and shoot at it using a 12 gauge shotgun from about 6 feet away.

    Make sure you wear safety glasses and ear protection.

    That MIGHT damage the card though

    I feel the same. I don't believe in grading new cards, but the old ones 60's and older (or rookies in 70's etc), I would leave in the case. What is the grade? If it is a 7 or better, do not touch it, if under 7, take it or leave it.

    It's a 1966 Mickey Mantle graded by psa and it's a 7 which i think is an EX/NM not sure but i got a sweet deal on the card the asking price was $55 and a ungraded card in like con goes for a lot more so i got my cousin to buy it and mail it to me, The card shop that sold it is closing up hence the good price

    I agree. I wouldn't take the chance of accidentally ruining it. Great score

    You got a great deal. What company graded it? That would be a big factor on if I took it out. PSA or BGS are really the best and most well respected grading companys. If the card was graded by them I'd keep it slabed.

    I hate to say it (because I truly dispise grading) but I agree with everyone else. Keep it slabbed, JOHN

    PSA is about the only grading I would leave alone, and keep in the graded slab. they tell you how they grade what they grade and list details out to the public ... unlike AFA

    I'd keep the card sealed.... a PSA 7 for a mid 60's card is pretty darn good.

    I have my Don Mattingly RC PSA 8 and no way will I take that thing out, and he's no where as rare as your '66 Mantle PSA 7
