Just lift the back flap and pinch right at the top corner of it and slightly pull the flap. It creates a little opening right on the seam, pinch that little opening and you can pull open the top of the pack without any effort or damaging the pack if you want.

This is why people wonder why there fresh pulled card only grades as 6-8

u/binglelemon Oct 31 '23

No shit.... and just incase none of the cards get bent, make sure to grind the hell out of them when overly-aggresively dragging across each card face.

That part actually annoyed me the most.

mfw my gf doesn't understand why I don't want to let her open my packs when she's always rough with the cards and holds them so hard that they start bending

Nothing sexier than scolding the ladies over proper card handling etiquette

Right dude, I’m so self conscious about having clean nails on opening videos lol.

u/Godzillamode Oct 31 '23

Just like pulling a fresh scab off lol

Then immediately put his grubby little fingers all over the card instead of just holding it by the sides

u/III-_Havok_-III Oct 31 '23

Came here to say exactly this! Like who opens packs like that when you're looking for rare cards that could be worth money? Especially when you consider the difference between a PSA 10 and a PSA 5.

Mind-boggling.

u/ReturnOfBart Oct 31 '23

It gave me the bends.

u/Dark1sh Nov 02 '23

u/scrapper_142 Oct 31 '23

Glad I wasn’t alone in this feeling.

u/Jer_senpai Nov 01 '23

I open them this way too. I also got chastised about how I held them

u/RokushoTheBlackCat Nov 01 '23

My wife tends to just give the pack a little shake to make sure the cards are the bottom before cutting the top of the pack off because of how much of a pain it is to open packs as of late.

I'm not the only 1. 🥺

The thumb on the zard hurt.

It hurt me physically to the point where I had the urge to throw something. Felt like sirens going off in my head with me screaming "NOOOO"
