Question for PSA regarding Cy Young flip

This is a PSA 6 T206 Cy Young card currently in Mastro's auction:

My question is, how is the front of the flip the more modern version (with squared corners as opposed to rounded), while the back is the older version with the hologram (which has been gone for years)? I'm not trying to stir anything up here. I just want to know if this flip is legit.

"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Thanks Anthony. I still don't know how to do that.

    If your photo software has a 'stitch' feature, it's pretty easy.

    I think that is the pre-rounded corner flip that still had a sticker on the back of it.

    The rounding I was referring to is the corners of the white area against the red, which this is not. If you search eBay, you'll find a ton of these flips.

    Prior to the rounded corners that you are talking about, they had the flip on the Yound, it had square white corners, but also had the hologram on the back.
