PCThe seller states that the card in the PSA 1 holder is a scan that was sent to him.
Clearly the card was busted out of that 1 holder and doctored ... the two significant scratches/marks on the front have been lightened somehow, and the borders look brighter (although some of the brightness might be due to the difference in the scans).
The card was then resubmitted ... now residing in a PSA 3 holder.
I think PSA can tell it's the same card, but what would it matter? If the card was busted out and resubmitted, and the 3 holder is the one PSA put it in, PSA has no further responsibility.
Of course, this is just more evidence of the rampant alteration in the hobby, and how inept grading companies are at catching it.
