@gottafixthemall: Cracking open a PSA 8 1st Edition Gengar slab 😈 | Part 2 One of the most exciting parts of card collecting is the chase for the perfect grade. Sometimes, a card comes back from grading and you just know it deserved better. That’s where professional card restoration and slab cracking comes in. This Gengar is a prime example. It came back as a PSA 8, but on closer inspection the centering, surface, and corners looked strong enough to push higher with the right touch. The only thing standing in the way? That plastic slab. In this video, you’ll see the process of carefully cracking the case open and preparing the card for restoration. Every step is done with precision to make sure the card remains safe and ready for a fresh submission. Collectors know the risk of cracking, but with the right tools and experience it opens the door to unlocking hidden value. A single grade bump — say PSA 8 to PSA 9, or PSA 9 to PSA 10 — can mean thousands of dollars in difference on high-end vintage cards. For collectors holding grails like 1st Edition Gengar, Charizard, Blastoise, or other Wizards of the Coast holos, that jump in grade can change everything. That’s why I started Gotta Fix Them All. I help collectors all over the world restore, clean, and prepare their cards to give them the best possible shot when regrading. From whitening and edge wear to corner dents and surface scratches, I’ve seen it all. My goal is to bring vintage cards back to life and give them the love they deserve. The process is simple: you ship your cards to me (most of my clients are in the US, UK, and Canada), I restore them with professional tools and techniques ready for PSA, BGS, CGC, or whichever grading company you prefer. Collectors often ask is it worth it? The answer is: absolutely. The difference between an 8 and a 9 can be huge in value, and for a card like 1st Edition Gengar, even a half-grade bump adds serious credibility and resale potential. If you’ve ever thought your slab was undergraded, or you’ve got a card sitting raw that deserves better, this is your sign. Whether it’s Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, or sports cards, I work with all cardstocks. DM me today to learn more about card restoration, slab cracking, and grading assessments. Let’s unlock the true potential of your collection. Because sometimes, a grade isn’t the end of the story it’s just the beginning #PokemonCards #PSA10 #SlabCrack #CardRestoration #PokémonTCG
