Considering what it takes to get your card PSA graded, and what it adds to the card (value, confirmation of validity and condition, a unique number, etc). I can see no reason to take a card out of a PSA case, unless it is either stolen, and you don't want people to identify the card, or if you are playing it in a deck. Perhaps even if it absolutely NEEDED to be in a binder.

For the deck idea: Just proxy it, and keep it in the case...

For the binder: Same

stolen? No comment.

All in all, I would NEVER remove a PSA graded card from its case, and I am suggesting / hoping that you will not.

However, I imagine if you just look around the house for a few tools, it won't take much time to get the card out, undamaged.

yeah, its not too hard.  The thing is, they are sent sealed, and once you break the seal, it doesnt count as graded until you send it back and have it regraded.

If you open the plastic case, just use a screwdriver or something like that. It's a little bit difficult to open it without touching the card, but if you're careful, it should be ok.

id take it out to play with it.

if its hard take out without touching the card, then thats a problem.

I would take it out if I would need it to play AND PSA grading would be 7 or less...

Tah your right:
8 and higher are not very commen
Alpha Cards out of pack are 8 sometimes 9 very very rare alpha gets a 10.
For  Beta 8 are more commen but still I would not open such a card.
