As you can see, it's graded a "7"...a rating like that is okay, but not too great...the card is also sort of disrupting my 1971 Topps set organization and so that plastic case has got to go.
So here's what I'm going to try to do...get the card out of the plastic slab without destroying it. I'm going to film the experiment this weekend but before that does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

I broke the slab of a certain 1997 Bowman Kerry Wood. Umm....I guess all I really did was break the top part with my hand and slowly made my way to remove the rest.
Card is in tip top condition, BTW.
Wow, that's cool that you did that with the Wood card...I'm glad it made it out okay!
I've broken a few PSA slabs with a pair of pliers. The key is to crack the top part of the slab and then slowly remove small pieces of plastic until you have enough room to slide the card out. I've never damaged one that way.
I would go to the PSA Message Boards if the link doesn't work:

Dremel the top part off?
