I just received this card in the mail. Do I need to worry about this holder?

I can fit my thumbnail in the not-so-sealed seam all the way around the holder.

Thanks in advance,
Bernie

    It looks like the seal has been broken in several spots where "cloudiness" appears. I would contact PSA about this.

    Definitely looks re-sealed. Speak to Charlie about this one. Could be a WIWAG?

    It's an older style holder which has a larger gap along the edge of the sealed area. Although the gap is larger the seal, the gap has nothing to do with the seal. About every inch there is a little round "rivet" looking spot. If the case was opened this is where it would look tampered with. The cloudy spots along the edge don't look like they even reach the area of the seal. The holder is not perfect but it doesn't look like its been opened. Most importantly, the card inside looks just fine for a 7 grade.

    The bottom corners look like they might be trimmed as well. But it is difficult to tell from a scan.

    Thanks for the opinions. The card does appear to be 7 quality, but I will be contacting PSA. The seller I bought this from, has sold me several SGC cards that had similarly damaged holders. However, they all crossed over to PSA pretty well. I was able to pull the SGC cards apart with my hands. The holder does look to be tampered with, because there are also "indents" on the sides where it looks to have been pryed open.

    We'll see what PSA says.

    if you can pull any holder open with you bare hands there is a big problem.....This holder looks fishy to me, and the card seems too small (space around edges)

    Yeah, that sounds really bad if you can pull holders apart with your hands. Not that it proves tampering, it just sounds like crappy holders. This PSA card could be legit. I've gotten many cards back from PSA that look like this, but it wouldn't hurt to send the picture to them anyway.
