I'm wondering what you guys who liberate all of your cards from slabs are using these days to safely do that. A while ago, I think some were employing bolt cutters and other crude implements. Since 99% of my collection is raw, when I purchased a few slabs a while ago, I tried to carefully remove the cards, but wound up creasing one of them - a 1954 Bowman Schoendienst - that was graded EX+. So, I swore off using that kind of violence entirely. What common tool does the removal without any chance of damaging the card?
