HELP PLEASE! Does anyone know how hard it is to remove card from Topps issued case?

This is someone from the group sub...can anyone help?? There isn't much room, so I don't want to hack at it like I do graded company slabs.

Sorry can't help free the card. Bobby you are way too nice. When people send you stuff like that you should just return it on their dime.

Should be really easy. Just use an Xacto knife to slice the sticker at the edge, and then pull apart the holder.

I have submitted cards in the Topps holder to ensure it wasn’t touched by anyone after Topps. The grading company emailed me a form to give them permission to remove it.

They are essentially one-touches with a tab on the side. Take off the stickers and push down the tabs and it should open fairly easily

And they are totally cool with that?

I do it to show them that the card was never touched. Since it is in a company issued holder I think it is acceptable - but I can’t answer for them.

Just going back to reread and reflect - the reason the grading companies are bogged down with cards is that people submit cards like this. The Piazza Card is worth nothing. And do i detect white on the upper right corner?

The turnaround times keeps getting longer and longer and the tpg are backlogged with tons of cards. This is why. Please people - choose wisely. It’s your money and you can spend it however you would like but I would think there are better uses for it than this.

In the submitters defense, he is a Piazza collector...not a flipper. These cards are going into a personal collection.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I'd rather have it in the Topps holder as issued than any other way.
