Default cracking a BVG holder; any suggestions on how?

Posted By: yazfan08

I've cracked PSA,SGC and BVG, and the Beckett is a nightmare compared to the others. Makes me respect their holder just a bit more. If you can pry open with one hammer strike as suggested, then you're the man. The seal seems to be much thicker compared to PSA. Remember that the card is encased in mylar within the BVG holder. Here's two other suggestions:

I turn the slab upside down and insert the top lip (now at the bottom) into a vise and slowly tighten while slightly wiggling the slab back and forth. Upon 'crushing' the lip, I release the slab and gently pry the 2 sections apart.
