What's the Best Way to open PSA Box

[dragsamou]

Hi Members.
Everything is in the Title basically,any suggestions are welcomed  :)

i only would do it with psa 8 or less cards in the begining but well.

1) Use a tiny point (screw driver) thing and try to get it stuck and then lift open the box. (also called: law of the lever)
Problem: if it breaks in the middle of the card a sharp edge could damage it.

2) use a metal saw and saw it open as you shurly will not want/ be able to use the box again.
Problem: if you saw to close to the cards the splinters could also damage it maybe you should use a vacuum cleaner to get a hold of that.

there are a number of small junctions that hold together the box. if you destroy all of them savely and calm you will get the card out as it is.

best way shurly would be:
Get another copy of the cards.

I never did it but I would use variation 2 for shure.

Please PM me with what you want to open.

Why would you ever want to do this?

Probably because he wants to put the card in a binder, with the rest of the set?

BTW, you've got a PM, alexis ;)

Maybe he wants to play the card, and doesn't have a full deck of PSA cards (or his group won't tolerate that kind of deck)   ::)

From what I have heard if you get the box started where the PSA info is, then the plastic weld along the sides will crack as you force the top open.  Apparantly the seam is weaker than the rest of the box.  The idea wasn't to make it impossible to open, just to make it obvious if it was opened.

There are PSA cards out there that you'd want to open.

I've seen PSA 4 and 5 P9, and they're pretty ugly.  Useless to keep em locked up when you can bust em out and play with them.

Hi.
Simply because PSA doesn't get into binder,I try to find
a normal Mint card,but could not get it in that condition.

Alexis I've got some PSA plastic sheets... They're quite ugly, but at least they fit in a classic binder.

Hey, not to steal the topic, but do these sleeves work well in binders with normal card pages as well?  In other words, are the pages stiff so that, even without a slab in them, they would be flat?

Edit: I see the thickness is about half an inch.  Hmmm.  I might order one just to see how it does for my Bear collection.

These pages are stiff indeed. You can put it into a binder full of cards, the sleeve will not become flat, even if it is empty.
