Yeah it totally destroys the slab when I bust cards out - Beckett in particular. I can occasionally get a PSA case open with "only" frosting the edges, but usually it cracks and splinters in other places too. I'm sure there are others who can liberate a card without doing as much damage to the slab as I do, but my purpose is never to save the slab so I'm probably less careful with that on the whole except when it gets close to the card.

The BVG slab I cracked last night wound up in about 6 pieces...
