Removing Card From Graded Case

[ALR-bishop]

I keep all my sets in binders for easy access. I use a bolt cutter to free any slabbed cards. Takes only one second, works every time, and I have never damaged a card

Thanks for the help and suggestions. I'll try using the dremmel saw first on one of the lower value ones.

I've got a few extra 1952's
#63 Black back VG+ off cut 90/10 left to right
#149 EX 60/40 left to right
#170 EX 70/30 Top to Bottom
#204 VG+ 80/20 left to right
#221 EX+ perfect centering, small ding top right corner
#247 EX Back bottom to top 60/40
#219 BVG 5.5 70/30 left to right, 80/20 top to bottom

If anyone needs any of these send me a message

When you say, "bolt cutter," do you mean the large device with about three foot long arms and jaws wide enough for really heavy bolts? Or are you meaning a smaller tool of some sort? Would a large vise-grip pliers do the job?

The smaller tool you mention might work fine. I tried several things but it always took some time and seemed to involve some risk. I had one of the big bolt cutters and tried that, at the seem where the card holder meets the title holder, and it worked great with one snap. Been using it ever since
