Do not crack the card out and get it regraded. I would send it off to PSA ASAP for reholder....if PSA says it was tampered with then you have a case against Probstein and can get your $ back. I've have had issues with them and will not buy from them. I don't think PSA really examines the cards in old holders before they reholder them. I had purchased a Pete rose rookie off ebay. When I received the card it had frosted corners that were not visible in the scan Cuz the seller had it inside a plastic sleev. Luckily Beckett was at a local card shop doing on sites and said the card look trimmed and the holder tampered with. I ended up getting a refund but the seller said he sent it back to PSA for reholder service for a new holder with hologram. He sent me pics for proof. How could Beckett think the card was trimmed and I thought so too, yet PSA still gave it a new holder. Fyi, your clemente looks fine. I've received a few cards back from PSA with the crack in same spot as yours. I believe it cracked during the sealing process. But still send it to PSA for peace of mind. Congrats on a good pickup either way.
