Default Question regarding altered graded card

I recently bought a PSA graded card on ebay and the paper above the card in the case is all bent up. This is the first PSA card I've seen where the paper with the name,year, and grade was not completely flat. This is also a PSA graded card without the hologram. Just curious if this was altered or fake. Any insight would be appreciated.

You should post a picture of it.

Post a picture. I have seen several with a wrinkled up flip that are good.

Looking straight on it was hard to take a picture and see the bend. This angle can show how it's not flat

Show a picture of the whole card/slab on a dark surface. I have a few PSA cards that are just fine with that wavy flip.

I wouldn't worry seems like it would be a lot of trouble to go through to fake a $150 dollar card. Flip looks fine it was probably just cut a bit long for some reason and compressed in the case.

Thanks for the input fellas. True I wouldnt imagine a 57 PSA 8 Al Kaline would be faked.
