Single Card Figure Extraction

What is the best way of getting the figures out of package so the card and front artwork is not totally destroyed ?

How many of you remove the bubbles completely and how many of you cut the bubbles so the figures can be re-inserted ?

I use a razor blade and run it along the edge where the bubble is glued on. So i have a nice clean full back card.

MOC-ers...start your trembling!

listen to this blasphemy...

i cut the bubble with a long, skinny box cutter...slide the tray out. when i know theres no problems with the toy...i yank the bubble off, scan the file card into the computer and then shred the cardback.

I carefully rip off the bubble hoping nothing gets damaged and then I keep the card back in those clear paper holders in a folder.

I'm not a MOCer but I loves me some packaging and cards.
