Am I the first to crack an SCD case?

just use a band saw! No case can resist one......zip and four seconds later you have your card!

I've cracked open some PSA holders because the grade I received was totally out of whack ,re-submited the cards and got the right grade.I lean the card holder flat on the floor up against a solid cement wall like in a garage.Top of holder closest to me.Screwdriver placed in center of top of holder,tap screwdriver carefully with same size ballpin hammer used by Andy Dufrene in Shawshank Redemption,good sturdy tap while holding screwdriver in place.Sweet sound of plastic cracking.Use screwdriver to pry off front of holder as you hold bottom of holder down with one hand.Card can be exhumed.Usually undamaged.

I'm right there with you Turtleguy, PSA crackouts are easy and by the way, this thread was rescued from the deep depths of Mr. Archive. Just about 8 years

That beats bbsports record set yesterday of a bump...his was only four years.

I've always used only one method to open all cases, a vice. Put the edge above the label in sideways (label facing right or left, not up and down) and then crank until the entire top cracks and separates. Then pull apart the two halves.

Has anyone noticed SGC cases are harder to crack these days. I have used a jeweler's screwdriver and a pair of needlenose pliers for a long time with great success splitting the front from the back with little effort but now the cases are breaking into large shards.
