Opening a Beckett Slab

[G1911]

I use pliers and a screwdriver for SGC and PSA, but with Beckett, I just use a table saw. Overkill, but it's fast and makes it easy. Pliers can be a pain sometimes on their thick slabs.

I don't like grading, but credit to Beckett on a bullet proof slab. That thing will protect a card through a lot.

If I was Beckett I would love this discussion. It shows their slabs must be destroyed to be opened. Shouldn't they all be that way?

Bolt cutters along a corner work great to create a starting point. Then, as mentioned, it's a flat head screwdriver to pry around the rest.

Tile nippers.

On a bit of a tangent, anyone ever have a terrible outcome and damage a card they were trying to free from a Beckett holder?

May be a positive in that by explaining what had been done that ended up causing card damage, it could be a good example for others of exactly what NOT to do in trying to open a Beckett holder.

This has worked well for me to open any TPG slab. Scott
