I haven't cracked open any but have always wondered if an inexpensive band saw from Harbor Freight would be the safest/easiest way to open a case.

All you need is a sharp knife and a hammer or something similar. I use a pair of pliers to hit the knife. You just need to locate where the 2 slabs come together. Put the sharp blade there, hit it and it will crack a small piece out. Then put the point of the blade in position to separate the 2 halves. Hit it again to separate. Get the point in there and twist the blade. Work until you get the case evenly opens enough to let gravity lower the card. Beckett cases are the hardest to open. SGC the easiest. The cases come right open. I have opened about 100 cards for my sets and have no damaged cards. Last edited by avalanche2006; 02-08-2019 at 07:39 PM. Reason: missing important step. |
