Need advice on how to crack player slab and standard slabs

Does anyone have experience cracking PCG player and standard slabs? Any advice/guidance on how to do it safely for the cards would be greatly appreciated. Since all the slabs I received were damaged and/or mislabeled, I want to crack the slabs to get the cards. Customer service isnt being helpful either.

Player Slab (Metal) arrived damaged and with crooked wrong label, Standard Slabs arrived with marks on labels

First order came back, unfortunately the one player slab (metal) arrived damaged with a crack at the top and the label is crooked (see pics). It also has the old label that doesn't have any subgrades even though it's. 9.5. Has anyone had similar issues with the player slab (metal)?

The standard slabs all arrived with marks on the labels (see pics), are these normal marks from the production process? They seem maybe to be unintentional or damaged? These pictures are of the slabs after I took them out of the sleeve it comes in, so is not a mark on the sleeve. What are your experiences with this?

I reached out to customer support so hopefully they will help.

Guards that fit PCG Slabs

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows of guards that fit the standard pcg slab, or if pcg is going to be coming out with their own guards? I really like the ability to customize with color

Pop report update frequency?

Hi, I see the number on the front page going up in terms of graded cards, but out of curiosity I've been checking the Pop report and haven't seen a new cert past 000272971 in about a week. How frequently is the Pop report updated with new cards that are graded? Am I misunderstanding how the cert numbers work (I assumed the next card would be 000272972)? I was curious to see if I could use those new certs as a proxy for throughput, but maybe that is just a misguided way to do that?

7/26/26: Pop report still hasn't been updated, 000272971 last cert still

Can't select player's metal slab for manual entry

Hi All,

This is my first time submitting. I am trying to put in an order and one of the cards, Kratos, God of War, is not in the catalogue. I put in the manual entry, however when I try to switch it to a player's metal slab it never switches. For the other cards I am submitting, they were in the catalogue and I can switch them. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I also considered doing the express checkout without card details, but I couldn't find a way to detail which of the cards should have the player's metal slab (I want the rest to be standard slabs). Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
