But once you use wire cutters to get a corner of that lip off, the rest works pretty much the same with a flathead screwdriver, except you have to pry up the rest of that much thicker and more resistant lip around the edge. I'll give Beckett credit, theirs is the most difficult slab bar none - but I still got it open.
Below is a picture of the card in question now. I'm much happier.

I have heard that numerous times as well, which is one of the reasons I am leaning towards them to grade my cards.
Question, however. In order to remove your card like you did, would it be impossible not to damage the slab in order to do so?
I have read about PSA being fairly easy to crack and the only noticeable, but not always, is the frosting you get when you do so.
