how do you crack the slab without damaging the card. I've acquired some cards through the years, graded by some no-name companies and would greatly prefer them raw. How can I do this safely?
On most slabs I crack I simply take a small wire cutter and crack one end of the slab. Then I work a flat head screwdriver around the seams while turning the handle in a twisting motion to pry it. They usually pop open very easy that way. With Beckett slabs you might need some TNT though.
