Here's my method illustrated with pictures. This is me cracking out a 1954 Hank Aaron rookie card to get autographed. I crack them ALL the time. It's easy. Takes guts to do it the first time, but after that, it's easy. PSA slabs are easy. BGS slabs are a pain in the butt and is the only time I've ever damaged one (1994 Arod SP).[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
