More seriously, they’re probably easier if one has stronger snips than I have in the garage. Becket slabs I do use a small handsaw to cut in half right below the seal, haven’t hurt anything yet. After experimenting I found this to be the quickest method without going and getting new tools. I don’t like card grading personally, but if one just wants to ensure their card can survive anything, a Beckett slab does the trick. Those honkers are built like tanks.
