Proper way to crack a card out of the slab?

Clayton, I believe I threw the slabs away, though I can check when I get home. I do remember (after breaking the SGC and PSA cases open) putting the two pieces of plastic together and thinking/wondering how an experienced slab-popper might be more careful and possibly get it to look legit. I could tell that if I had tried to put it together, it would be obvious when compared with a non-tampered slab that it was tampered with. I believe there have been tampered slabs on ebay for SGC and PSA - but perhaps those were old slabs and they've improved their technology?

When you guys break cards out of their holders, do you send the flips in so that their respective populations can be updated?

I didn't send in the flips, but I do have them and would include them with the cards (or send them in) if I were to sell them.
