Am I missing the "Altered" part? Any idea what they are saying is wrong with it? Looks like a clean "1" from what I can see.

I do not know. I usually assume some slight trimming. However, I am not expert. I do not see any added ink/color.

It's due to the heavy tear/crease in the center of the card. Only makes the card grade an A. An 1 or A in this case makes no difference in price. The back is a bit tougher than most Cobb backs other than Pied 42's and AB's.

If it was just the tear I would think it would just say AUTHENTIC, yet this has a designation of ALTERED added to it. I haven't seen that added to cards that are just too low of a grade to be a 1. There has to be something else, or a mistake by PSA. Based off the condition, though, I am sure whatever the "alteration" was, it wasn't done to deceive.

It could have been glued back together in that crease?
