Cracking and sending it in again is possible, although I think the vast majority of thieves want a quick payday and would not be willing to invest money and wait the months or years (backlog) for grading.

There’s people who like to buy graded cards and “liberate them from their prisons” to be played. The whole collectors’ grading system is insane. See also: the massive fraud in video game grading by Wata and Heritage Auctions.

The card itself doesn’t get serialized, but the card gets “slabbed”; put in a plastic case that is serialized and can’t be opened without damage.

Indeed. It’s not the white “USA” hat, it’s the “white USA” hat.

My Sharp PC-7000 has a Setup key on the keyboard.

Sometimes this works. Sometimes it makes the PC speaker beep for two minutes straight while it slowly makes its way through the keyboard buffer.

Stage five? I feel like that’s only something that Donald Trump could get. Only the best cancer, the greatest cancer. Only in America, can we get cancer like this cancer. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it.
