Cracking PSA slabs
Hey all
Have enough experience with BGS slabs, but acquired my 1st PSA slab i want to bust open.
Any tips?
The slab is quite different from BGS, and I'm scared my BGS technique won't work.
Any help is appreciated!

It's very easy. Take a pair of pliers, snap off the corners. Once you've got them all, work over one of the top corners a little more and you should eventually be able to just pull the slab apart.

This always works for me Steffan. Have yet to damage a card.

Thanks for the video link ... I usually put the slab in a bench vise grip in the shed for extra security.

I used to use the vice grip as well but was always scared that the card would fall on the floor.

Lol, sorry I guess I should have been clearer. I only use the vise to hold the card until the initial snip ... once I get the screwdriver out I lay the slab on a clean surface on gently turn it until the top starts to separate from the back half.
However you choose to do it, patience and caution is the key.
