I'm curious to know the best way to remove a slab.

Thanks for the info.

What i do is take a large sharp cutter and cut a corner off the slab, then stick in a thin screwdriver and carefully work my way around the slab until it can be popped open. While there certainly is a chance of damaging a card doing this, so far i have opened a bunch without damage yet.

It is worth the risk.
Nothing more noble in the hobby than releasing a card from the dreaded suspended slab prison. Keep up the good work!
