curled, non-flat, wavy PSA labels - any concern?

The majority of my PSA graded cards have either a perfectly flat label or a slight consistent curl to them. But then I have a few here and there were the label looks curled or slighly crumpled in certain areas, which creates "waves" in the label. Most of the time it's very slight; but in other cases it looks very bad with crumpling in many areas. In scans/photos it doesn't show well because of the primary white background color. But in person it looks horrible. I'm thinking of reholdering some of my favorite and key cards that exhibit this behavior. Just wondering if everyone has some of these "crumpled" labels? And are they of any concern as far as possible tampering? My cases don't show any obvious signs of compromise.

You can see a slight wave on the back.

    I think that looks normal and you are being overly hard on the labels.....

    Well the sample photo is what I considered slight, and I bet on it would not show much if at all on the front. Some of mine have waves so heavy you can see them throughout the entire front of the label. It looks terrible in person with lighting, especially when it makes the text/numbers on the front look wavy (this is the part I'm unhappy with).

    I just grabbed a bunch of my PSA cards and noticed that on a bunch of them. How soon until a company starts grading the labels?
