PSA scans all cards over certain dollar amounts, based on the service level. I think SGC started to scan all cards submitted. The level of slab damage and frosting on cards straight from grading companies is inconsistent, whether it be to damage during the slabbing process or shipping them back.
The "new" flip in the OP looks to be the previous generation of flips (gray bar, not lighthouse) which seem to still be used for large bulk submitters who get much cheaper prices, and maybe that's why the slab is not the "current" BGS-like slab which is supposed to not crack without significant evidence.
