yeah, but there's no substitute for the feeling of pride one experiences after a great achievement.
14 outta 15 now, no blood since card #2.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.
<< <i>Mike, is that your Aaron? If yes did you get a bump in the grade? It looks like a 2 before crackage. >>
Yes, it's my Aaron, but I didn't crack it to try and get a bump. I cracked it in order to get it autographed.

All you need is a chisel, hammer and vice.
Place the card in the vice sideways, with the label end hanging off to the right side.
Put the chisel on the seam.
Give it a hard tap with the hammer. The seal will pop right away.
Turn the card over and repeat to other side by the label.
The chisel can now be put in the opening and then work your way around the slab.
It will pop very easily.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
26 out of 27 old hockey cards successfully removed, blew the no-hitter with two outs in the first.
13 cuts or abrasions on my left thumb and forefinger.
significantly better odds of making back my grading fees on these cards.
Buying Vintage, all sports.
Buying Woody Hayes, Les Horvath, Vic Janowicz, and Jesse Owens autographed items
