Cracking PSA cases

How many of you have cracked cases to put the card in a binder set? I’m hoping to get a good deal on a PSA 9 card, bidding is low, because I can’t find a good price on a raw one that isn’t hammered.

I have done this about 10 times now unfortunately. I prefer to buy ungraded but sometimes all I can find are graded. I think I saw somewhere else that when you crack them you should send in the tag to PSA so the pop report can be updated, though.

Someone with more experience please correct me if I’m wrong here.

I do that all the time, for some holo 1st ed cards (mostly from neo sets) it’s easier and cheaper to get either psa 8 or 9 rather than NM ungraded cards.

That’s what I’m finding with the rainbow energy 1st edition Team Rocket. All the ungraded are in terrible shape for the price and good ones are more than graded sometimes.
