Son of a b#$@!. I just damaged a card cracking it out of its holder for a crack and resubmit. Nice little wrinkle in the upper right corner. AAAARGH.

Hes prolly busy busting up furniture right about now, thats awful sorry to hear that Ron.
I have destroyed HUGE MONEY when my ordinarily ultra-steady hands
suddenly turned spastic as I placed stamps in mounts. I have dropped
cards and grabbed curency the wrong way; the worst one I can recall
was dropping a $2K silver dollar on a concrete floor and proceeding to
step on top of it with a motorcycle boot.
Life is heck. Such is life.

No you're not, Matt.
Works on any holder, any size, any company.
First time was with the notorious holder from Hell.... the BVG! (Beckett)
I was going to use a tin snips at first but thought I'd try the awl & hammer.
I struck it once in the middle of the flip, and once in the middle of the bottom edge, and the holder split right down the middle very cleanly without hurting the card.
I pulled the holder apart from the sides and the card slid right out.
I've done this for well over 100 different cards and have never had a mishap.
No need to twist or bend anything.
Just don't miss hitting the awl with the hammer!!!!!
<< <i>I pop the corner of by the flip.. with a tile snipper.. stick in a screw driver and turn sideways to pop the top and slowly
open the rest.. placing the screw driver in and turning if needed... >>
That's how I do it as well and I've never had a problem cracking dozens of slabs.
<< <i>I cant even begin to think what you guys are doing. My screwdriver never even makes it half way down the flip, let alone get near the card. >>
Yip! If you do it the way as described above, the screwdriver never even gets near the card.

I don't understand why anyone cracks anymore.
sorry it happened Ron.

i'd suggest some strong garden shears (short handled) to clip top portion off, then pry top off w/ a nice gentle butterknife.
hindsight 20/20 however.

Yeah so? They have done it quite a few times from what I have seen.
Ahh it was an SGC slabbed card.
That explains it.
