How do you open a PSA graded Holder?

[Zach Wheat]

I use my chop saw (i.e. miter saw) to slice through all holders. I've liberated 20+ cards with no issues at all - even with the tough Beckett holders.

Might seem like overkill but it works!

I've used a kitchen knife on hundreds of cards, and a hammer and screw driver on a few of the more complicated ones (like 1956 Topps pins).

But I love the vision that I have in my head of Al with bolt cutters. He has a crazed grin, tossled hair, and there's blood that probably isn't his...

Fold a washcloth over the card (top and bottom). Firmly tap a hammer along the top edge. Take a flathead screwdriver and slide it between the layers of plastic at the tag area and lift up. The case will pop apart.

Although I free ALL my cards from holders I do keep the tags with them to show the previous grading.

Has anybody cracked open a PSA case containing a HOF plaque postcard? I don't see a seam around the edge. Thanks for the help and Happy Thanksgiving!
