Quick question, anyone know how to open this protective holder?

I feel like a fool for asking but I cannot seem to get it open. Any help is greatly appreciated.

i hate those! I struggle every time I find myself trying to open. I think i have one with instructions though. i'll look.

In the meantime, I think it is that tab on top that you squeeze while moving the cover up or down (those side tabs are like locking tabs I think,

I want to say that if you put a flat head screwdriver in the notch at the top and pry, it'll pop open.
I haven't seen one of those cases for years, but for some reason that came to mind.
Hope it works...

I found it. Scan in a minute...

I think it's pretty much the same concept…although mine looks slightly different. it's got those same locking tabs on the side.

I am cringing at those very snug corners on the Ichiro...

I was a big fan of those cases. I'd wouldn't mind finding some in new condition for my 90s inserts.

Yah it looks like it damaged the card a bit. Not sure whether to keep the card or not.

I ended up using a screwdriver to break the case; I could not figure out how to get it open. The card was a little stuck to the back of the case initially.
