Cracked a new ANACS holder today......

I had my first try today at cracking the newest ANACS slab which is made of harder plastic and sort of resembles the plastic SEGS uses. Simplest and most clean break of a slab I've ever cracked. Simply take a flat head screwdriver where the head is wider than the bottom of the slab. Insert head in between the two overhanging sides and twist. I wasn't even trying to be neat about it but it cracked clean and if I'd have taken my time it would have broken open clean and could have been reassembled in my opinion. Kinda scary because I see scammers working on this. Unlike the previous "new" ANACS slab which had the hologram which self destructed when the slab was pried open, the new slab has an adhesive hologram that is simply stuck to the outside of the slab. ANACS needs to go back to drawing board......again. Will post pics later.

I don't think they are going to change 'em though.

Could not agree more. I LOVE the old white slabs; but I think they also carry more of a stigma now, as being net graded or as having problems.
