I'm still having a XXXXX of a time locating a steel, let alone a grand finale.
What player?

LOL. It has been bugging me now for awhile now too. although unless they all came out with with the same grade that would bug me also. so i will crack it.... but how do you crack them out without damaging them?
Definitely another possibilityOr you could try to track down one that isn't slabbed and work out a trade. The 9.5 is sure to be preferred by some collectors.
BGS slabs are actually the easiest to crack...though most collectors will tell you otherwise. Just a straight slot screwdriver head in the middle of the flip label, running parallel to the length of the slab; one strong hammer whack to the hilt of the driver, and the slab will literally split into 2 pieces down the center with no stress on the card or little shards of plastic.
Got it in hand today...I will say, especially since I have never held a Grand Finale in hand until today, the difference is UNMISTAKABLE! The hologram was blatantly gold, no questions! As soon as I opened the envelope, I was pretty happy! Dug out my old Gold to scan them side-by-side. Happy to cross this 1997 SPX Grand Finale off the list!
and as one scan:
that is probably what I would try to do. if it were anything less than a BGS 9.5 I'd say crack it and don't think twice... but I'd have a tough time cracking a BGS 9.5/PSA 10 of a card like thatDefinitely another possibility
I must have missed something. Did you buy that set?
Yes he did.
