Tampered PSA case or not? Need opinions

I don't see any issues, that 'frosting' happens sometimes when it is sealed because of the materials they use. If it were cracked, it would be pretty white.

Very nice looking card

I agree...it would fit perfectly in a PSA 6 holder. The borders are snow white, three sharp corners (one EX+) and the colors are so much better than the raw copy I have. Looks like it was just pulled, which is probably only adding to my paranoia

PSA 5 means wrinkle or hairline crease...a majority of the time.

I can't find a crease or wrinkle...there is a small print defect (at least I assume it is since it was not given a qualifier)in the right border.

Do you have any pictures of the back of the card?

a 5 should not have a crease ever. i think he means a 4.

That's a nice card! I can't see someone putting that in a PSA 5 holder if they were looking to "improve" its grade unless the card was a fake. I believe it is ok.

I've heard from the seller who confirmed that he personally had the card graded at the National convention last year in Baltimore and has a picture of this and two other cards (shown below) that were graded at the same time that have consecutive serial #'s. He also gave me the submission order # and his PSA account password in case I want to investigate further (which I don't). I think the consensus is that the case looks fine and may have sustained minor damage at time of assembly or over the course of the last year. I want to make it absolutely clear that I never, in any way, was accusing the seller of any wrong doing...I just wanted/needed some confirmation and I appreciate everyone's input.

Cards with sequential #'s

Best thing to do is get it reslabbed..cost $5.00 at the National. Wrinkles are hard to see at first glance hold the card at an angle. Good Luck
