I just use my Leatherman. Has a tool in there the equivalent of an extremely thin flathead that I place into the seam and twist around the top edges of the slab.

Display issue, it gets me close to finishing a 53 Topps set.

The best way to open a psa case is to clap your hands a couple of times over it in a slow beat.
Bgs a lot harder.

RE: Breaking open a graded card.
I've busted quite a few. My PC is a prospect, and most guys graded prospects, especially autos and colors. So I've had to bust quite a few since I hate graded cards. I just busted a 9.5 Red Refractor. I'm not ever going to sell it, so it doesn't matter to me.

Lol +1. Just used this same technique this past weekend with my leatherman. Worked great!
