I am glad to see the slab has to be ruined in order to get a card out.

With PSA's, the way I understand it, based on all the current fakes that are slabbed, is the slab will not be destroyed, which makes it the easiest slab to place a counterfeit card into.

What is different/tougher about the new PSA slab?

The slab is thicker and there isn't a seam that runs down the side. In order to get the card out a cut must be made. They also don't pull apart very easily.

Using the method in the video will work but not safely. I cracked out a few low dollar cards and it was an event. One cut wasn't enough and there was a struggle to pull the two pieces apart. I don't have the confidence to crack out a higher dollar card. The old slab lifted easily like the BGS slab in the video so the risk of damage was minimal.

GAI is hands down the hardest.

Thanks for the info. I assume you didn't take a vid cracking the new PSA slab?

No.

I got tired of getting into debates on CU about how easy it was and my brother was showing me his new phone so I said hang tight on hitting the pool I want you to record a video of me cracking a card out real quick.

I uploaded it to YouTube to show the board and surprisingly it still gets viewed in the range of 300 times a month. A lot of collectors out there.

Good stuff David. BTW, even the Beckett guys don't have a magic "cracking" machine at their office. They do it much like you do from what I am told. The way you did it is also the way I have cracked the few I have done. That method also works for PSA and SGC slabs from my experiences.
