Default Anyone see anything wrong with this 51 Mantle?
Hello everyone. I am new to this forum but not new to the hobby. I have read many useful threads from many very knowledgeable people on this page. I believe there is something amiss with the attached card. I am not going to purchase it regardless, but with all the issues with slabs of late, I was wondering what some experts might be seeing here.

There should be a strip on the back with the serial number, no?

Not necessarily. PSA and their great marketing team made these flips for a short time when the first changed the slab. You know the tamper proof ones. Then after several sent in their cards for reholdering they changed the flip to have that strip on the back you are referring to. It was great for them because it got several to get their cards reholdered twice.

I thought once they went to the hologram they all had the strip. There was an earlier tamper proof holder with no hologram. But I could be wrong.

I have a few I personally sent in so I know they made them. I can post pics if you want.
