RE: Breaking a card out of a PSA slab
PSA slabs are probably the easiest to bust open. Lay it on the long edge, then put a flathead screwdriver in the seam at the corner where the label is and give it a sharp rap with a hammer. It should split down most of the top edge. From there, just put the flathead between the two sections and give it a twist. That should split more of it apart. Continue working around the edges until it pops apart.

BGS cases can be busted as well, but they are WAY harder to do. I don't recall if I've busted any other cases such as GAI, but I seriously doubt they are as tough as BGS cases.

I used to but out every card I got that was for my PC, but I've lessened my stance on that now. However, I tend not to buy graded cards anymore.

I busted one open very easy to do there is a thin crease on the side of the slab put a flathead screwdriver in the crease and give it a little turn they will pop right open

Ya I don't recommend my method of destroying the corner with a hammer to get the screwdriver under the lid.
