Default Cracking the Slab Tutorial

Forgive the raspy voice, but I did a short tutorial on how to quickly (although I really took my time here to do it right) and easily crack a card out of its slab. The goal was to break out my 1968 Topps Willie Mays and get it ready for Bobby's group submission...

And what the heck. This one is pertinent to the topic at hand...

175. Removey Mogul (also Davy Crackit)
A collector who insists on freeing all of his cards from their TPG holders.

See also: Crackpocket - a collector who must break each of his cards out of their slabs to return them to their natural habitat, ensconced in binder pages.

See also: Crackitect - someone who offers step by step instructions on how to free a card from its plastic prison.

See also: Humblemished - the deflated feeling associated with actually damaging a card during the slab-removal process.
