Just to clarify, the first shot is zoomed in via my phone in an attempt to determine what the PD designation could possibly be referring to. The second shot (seemingly matching the one it's compared to) is a straight-on scan with no photoshop retouching work done except for the 3 standard moves: auto tone, auto contrast, and auto color, to correct for the limitations of the scanner. It shows exactly what the card looks like and you would never even see the tiny, tiny bit of snow. It is basically imperceptible. I still say they just flat out messed up, printing the wrong label or something. Perhaps, like someone noted, it was the way PSA graded cards in their earlier days?
