PGM crack out & press EOSV 2

2 posts in this topic

Hey guys,

I’m thinking about cracking out this book, having it witnessed/signed by the writer, then having it sent to CGC for pressing and grading.  
 

Never done it before. Any recommendations?  Does it needed to be signed with special ink?  How can I safely crack it?

Not like this.

That's no way to crack out a case from CGC.

Seriously, maybe this way.

Personally, with all but one slab I cracked out I did it by prying open the case from one side with my fingers. For the exception I gently used a screwdriver to open it.

Provide back cover pics and grader's notes if you have them and maybe we can determine if a C&P after the signing will positively benefit the book's grade.
