Anthony N.Cut the corners with tin snips or a dremmel and then pry the holder apart. If done carefully it's not risky.
I've had a few cards in GAI holders that PSA has rejected, and all graded when sent in raw. You can chose to believe either A. they are trying to make the point that Global is a bad company that doesn't know what they are doing (although with the same graders that graded millions of PSA cards, what does this say?) or B. The Global holder makes it tough to properly see the edges.
But if you don't have plans to sell it in the near future why bother with any of this? Right now it's protected in a nice holder, and presents well. The black matte sets off the green card better than PSA's holder will, and if and when you do decide to sell it who knows if any of these grading companies will be around.
