I've mostly been hiding out and trying to save some money but I have picked up a few small-ish things in the last week. Top of the list is this:

I need it for my set but I don't want it in the PSA case. What is the best way to get these cases cracked?

I've heard that you take pliers to a top corner and then use a flathead screwdriver, but I've never done it myself, since I don't have any slabbed cards and don't plan on having any. I know if you look it up on youtube there are videos for it. And nice pickup for your set. Not too many players left should cost a whole lot either. It seems like you've taken care of plenty of the stars

WOW!!! Nice Pick Up Pete!

There's a video on youtube where a guy shows you how to crack the case properly. It involves banging a single top corner with the back of a screwdriver (several times) until the edge smashes and cracks, then pry it open from there.

Okay, so I nearly jammed a screwdriver into my arm, and it was rusty.
I think I'll try again tomorrow after the wine wears off
And please please, if anyone has any of the ones I need to finish this set I'm paying over BV, well over 2X for most of these!

Hey Pete, nice to see you on here! good luck getting that case open dude!
