I've been a carded collector for years but lately I've been into opening my stuff and enjoying it. My question is for other loose collectors. I want to keep the card backs but how do I go about opening them without ruining the card art. I've got some new Clone Wars figures and some Marvel Universe and I really like the character art on the fronts and don't want to tear them up. I've tried with some RoC figures to go slow and it doesn't seem to matter so I need some tips on what do others do not to tear up the card art.

Using a box cutter, slice the bubble off the card. Just lay the blade flat and slice around the edge of the bubble, right next to the glue, as close to the card as you can without cutting the card. Takes a little practice, but soon you'll have nice looking cardbacks that you can display separately.
