Does anyone have a link showing the best way to crack a card out of an SGC holder? Thanks, Andy

    Find a skinny flat-head screwdriver. Insert said screwdriver into crack separating the two halves. Twist, move, repeat. They are the easiest slabs BY FAR to crack.

    Wow! that was super easy - exactly as described. Cracked out a 1953 Topps Satchel Paige (50 VG/EX 4). Hoping it crosses to a PSA 4.

    Almost troubling just how easy they are to crack open without damage.

    It really is. I bought a T3 in late '15 that was ridiculously easy to crack. Didn't even need a screwdriver for it, as one side had started to separate on it's own.

    SGC actually had a problem a few years ago with their large holders coming apart. I had a 1939 R303A Goudey Premium of Ted Williams where over half of one side and part of the bottom had separated, allowing the card to slide out of the black insert. I took it to the National Convention in 2013 and they reholdered it for me.
