Ever seen this on a PSA flip?

Has anyone every seen smudges on the Nasdaq ticker (i.e. right under "Collector's Universe) area on the top right of the back of the PSA holder? I haven't ever seen this before and thought I'd ask. Asked the seller about it and he says it's actually on the flip, not the plastic casing.

    Beautiful card. I saw it get listed last night I'm not surprised it didn't last long. My first guess was that the smudge was from a sticker that was removed from the holder, but hearing that the smudge is on the flip is interesting. Probably no reason for alarm though.
    "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."

    I have gotten a card or two with the holo on the flip being mucked up like that

    '51 Bowman Mantle along with Gretzky's OPC rookie are my favorite sports cards. This is a beautiful PSA 5.

    The smudge is probably where the screw driver slipped while prying out the real Mantle. image
