warshawlaw I have just liberated a T206 Addie Joss batting from the Abu Ghraib of card holders, the GAI holder. Ol' Addie was a vg 3 card but has new chips on the top and bottom borders where the GDMF GAI holder was mis-sized and allowed the card to slip around.
The prison break took all of two minutes. I held the card holder in one hand and cracked all around it with a pliers, then snapped off a few shards of side, slipped a flat edge screwdriver between the two pieces of plastic and started twisting my wrist. A few twists and Addie was free.
Addie will be transferred to a new, more humane facility shortly.
