More than likely a compromised slap with a real label, but a fake card inserted.

Couple of other questions to consider: 1) Is there anyway to cross-check the barcode and/or cert. # with PSA? (again, I know this could be photo shopped from another like-card for sale on eBay),
|
Yes, if you google "PSA cert verification" you'll find a link. You can also upload images or scans of cards to
this website to check if the barcode is legit (I checked on the Mantle in question and the barcode matches the cert number).

2) PSA's slabs are supposed to be sonically sealed. Any way to check this?
|
Yes.

Chuck, I know you buy the card not the grade, but the TPG's have to be able to provide some assurance to prospective buyers or else why have TPG's at all?

Could not agree more.
