Posted By: <b>keyway</b><p>Go to a hardware store. They make a small plastic or formica cutting tool. Simply run it up the seam at the top corner of the card, 4, 5 or 6 times and it will open right up. I do it all the time. Make sure you pull the tool away from the card.

Posted By: <b>Rob Dewolf</b><p>I've had good success with bolt cutters. Come to think of it, I've used those bolt cutters more on card slabs than on bolts.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Rob, I've got a small can of WD-40 on my desk at home -- which has never been used on anything but to remove goo on slabs.

Posted By: <b>Rob Dewolf</b><p>Careful, Jeff, I see a new post on the horizon: "How does using a commercial cleaner on you're (sic) card slabs impact prices of Barry Bonds cards?"

Posted By: <b>Tom Nieves</b><p>MVSNYC,<br /><br />Not trying to ruin it for him. Just pointing out that this seller doesn't leave any money on the table. I don't think Dave would have purchased this card if he had known that the seller is a former PSA grader, a former auction house employee, and was at one time one of PSA's highest volume submitters.<br /><br />Tom

Posted By: <b>Mark T</b><p>The seller should have stated that....<br /><br /><br />If the seller knew of any problems (altered or trimmed) with the card he should have listed it in the description. <br /><br />Just my opinion...

Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Dave was kind enough to orchestrate a trade with me on the T204 Plank. Thanks Dave. It's a card I've always wanted, and one that will reside in my collection for a long time (I hope). <br /><br />I plan on cracking it out. For the time being, I have no plans to submit it to any of the grading companies. I'm just thrilled to actually own a Ramly Plank in any condition.
