I've used a screwdriver and if you look at the seam between the two halves there should be a point where you can carefully split them. I would start with moderate force and increase it until the two begin to separate. I don't recommend using a stick of dynamite or other incendiary devices. |

I've had great luck with PSA holders. Take a tin snips and snip a corner. Then a small flat head into that corner and twist and pry. |

PSA & SGC slabs are sonically sealed. If you use mechanical means to overcome this seal (such as prying, etc.) in addition to injury from flying shards (a distant relative of hanging chads) of plastic, you are at the risk of a sonic implosion; which under the right circumstances could become the focal point for a black hole - right in your hands! We all know the result of creating one of those. |

I've removed many cards from slabs without any problems. I use a pair of channel locks and a flat head screwdriver. First, I stand over top of a trash can and angle the top of holder slightly downwards and just below the top level of the can. Next, I take the channel locks and firmly grasp one of the top corners of the holder, turn my head to the side, and twist the channel locks firmly in an upwards direction to break off the corner. I repeat the same procedure to break off the opposite corner on the top side of the holder. Some shards of plastic will fly through the air so that is why you should turn your head to the side. I try to break off enough of the corners so that the label is partly exposed. Finally, I take a flat head screwdriver and gently pry around the edges to separate the two halves of the holder. For PSA cards, be careful as the card is usually just sitting on top of that plastic sleeve and the card can slide around. I've only found a few cards sealed inside the sleeve. For SGC cards, be careful that the black plastic insert doesn't slide around and ding the edges of the card. As I said, I've done this a number of times on SGC and PSA graded cards and have never damaged a card. |

PSA and SGC are easy; just pry around the seams with a small flathead screwdriver and they come apart like pistachios. |

The shipping is worth more than the slab and the card! | Archive | Net54baseball Vintage (WWII & Older) Baseball Cards & New Member Introductions | 3 | 04-12-2004 02:33 AM |
