PSA initially charged me and returned it in the original slab without any notes. When I contacted customer support for an explanation, they responded with this e-mail:
""Your order did not crossover because it did not meet your minimum grade requirement that you set, meaning our graders are of the opinion that your card did not meet the standards of that minimum grade or higher. They do not come to this conclusion lightly, and more than two expert PSA Graders inspect your item, and they both must come to the same conclusion. According to our graders, there were signs of alterations on this card, and the only way to have had this item encapsulated was to set your minimum grade to authentic."
PSA was only able to review the card through the slab, but confidently stated that it was altered. PSA also has an incentive to make competitors look bad, but at the end of the day they're on record that this card was tampered with, and MBA is on record that it wasn't. I'll leave it to others to decide whether PSA is wrong or MBA is wrong.
