Tampering?

DanBessette

I bought this card recently and it arrived today. I'm not an expert on PSA slabs and tampering/frosting, but this one makes me nervous. I'm looking for opinions on whether this was potentially tampered with.






Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks good to me.

Yep--normal. If it is tampered, you'll really see it. Isolated frosting happens.

EDIT: Nice card, BTW!

Stranger things have happened. Manufactured fake rack packs where the biggest star showing is Dickie Thon. I'm a newbie to the grading game. Had to ask.

Nah. The centering is incredible, but there's snow in the top right. Thanks for the reassurances fellas.

I think the process to "sonically" seal the cards can be a little rough on the holder. We've all received cards back straight from PSA that have slight imperfections in the case. Although, one time I received a batch of around 50 cards back where the bottoms of the holders looked brownish. The cards were placed in plastic bags before they were put in the holders. Some had strands of plastic coming out from the bottom of the holder. I believe sonically sealing them involves vibrations instead of heat but these looked burnt. Anyways, PSA happily agreed to replace the holders and they looked perfect when I got them back. PSA support was very helpful.

Dan,
The Yaz looks legit! No worries.
