Help determining if PSA holders have been tampered with

chadridge

I've been reading about "frosted" holders on this board, and hoping that none of my cards are counterfeit, but never really seeing anything like what was described. Well, I just got two cards in the mail that might meet that criteria. I haven't posted images before, so let's see if this works.




The actual cards: the Thomson looks OK to me, the Feller is a little more questionable, but it's not a disaster. Cracking out a 6 Thomson seems silly, and there's really not a ton of money to be made on the 6 Feller as well.

What do you think? A 7 day return is offered.

Thanks for any opinions,
Chad

They look fine to me. The worry is someone putting a PSA 6 card in a PSA 8 or 9 holder. Then they would re submit the high quality card. BTW These cards do look nice for the grade.

Yea....those look normal....it the case was frosted, trust me, you would know.....most scammers put the frosted case against a white background to help conceal the damage.

I agree with Sonny and Ralph also. They look great for a 6. Enjoy the cards. - Kevin

Thanks guys. I am actually a little surprised at the responses, I though for sure that the extra opaque white spots around the edges was this "frosting", but yeah, why go through all the trouble on these 6's, esp. the Thomson.

For my education, if anyone can posta good scan of a tampered PSA holder showing frosting, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks to all,
Chad
