Campyfan39- I had some graded cards that I've wanted out of their cases for a while, didn't know how to do it. Used the hammer method, and it worked perfectly every time. Thanks a lot.

Default Breaking the Case

I use a miter saw. I have an expensive powered miter saw with fences bolted to my work bench. It easily cuts through any case, even the more difficult BVG cases. I have always been worried about the plastic card sleeves binding and creasing the card when taking out in another manner...or having the tool accidentally slip and cut the card.

I've liberated about 20 cards this way and have never had any problems. This has worked real well for me.

I guess I'm a bit more 'uncivilized' when it comes to freeing cards. i place the case on the counter with only the upper right corner hanging off. I hold the case down with my left hand, and with a hammer break off the corner...then I slip a small flathead screwdriver into the case and separate it. Has worked every time.

Though, I totally agree about WEARING GOGGLES...that plastic FLIES!
