cracking a BVG holder; any suggestions on how?
Posted By: warshawlaw
I just bought my first BVG graded card; frankly, I don't much care for the holder. I do, however, really like the 1957 Clemente in it. I'd prefer to break it out and put it into something else without damaging the card. Anyone cracked them before and have any helpful advice, it would be appreciated. |

I've cracked PSA,SGC and BVG, and the Beckett is a nightmare compared to the others. Makes me respect their holder just a bit more. If you can pry open with one hammer strike as suggested, then you're the man. The seal seems to be much thicker compared to PSA. Remember that the card is encased in mylar within the BVG holder. Here's two other suggestions: |

Take a hacksaw and gently saw across the label about a 1/2 from top (that way your're staying far away from the card). Next gently pry open the each side until it completely comes apart...it's messy, but it's the safest way IMO. |

I've been finding it tougher and tougher lately to crack open holders. (Scott Gaynor's are particularly difficult). But the grading services routinely crack open their own holders (to correct labelling errors, etc.) and crack open other companies' holders whenever they provide a crossover grading service. |

So far, The Beckett slab has been the toughest by far. I purchased a slabbed OBAK that I liberated successfully. |

I broke out a Beckett Cracker Jack out last year... after my thumb stopped bleeding, I was able to see straight again. You don't need a trip to the ER if you wait it out. |
