PSA holder tampering?

Agreed. However, I think the same thing could be said about the Robinson too. What's a 5 worth on that card? 120?

The cards all look accurately graded to me. It's kind of hard to tell if the cases have been tampered with from the angle of the pictures. Scans would have been better.

I think all 3 are okay.

They look good to me. Since you posed the question, why do you believe the holders have been tampered with?

Those holders look fine to me; patches of frosting or cloudiness are absolutely normal and come right off the press like that. A frosted holder with clear tampering would be frosted across an entire edge, or much of it.

Here is an article that contains information about what an opened PSA case may appear as(take a look at the 54 Aaron mentioned in the article):

Thank you. Great read.

My concern was the frosting on the edges of the holder. Was not aware that patches of frosting are normal though, so if that's the case I feel much better about these cards. The grades seemed accurate and in some cases tampering seemed hardly profitable, but I'd always heard that frosting was a sure sign of tampering. Thanks for the insight guys!

And yes, when they finally have new holders I will probably branch out from BVG and try PSA.

SGC is coming out with a new holder too.
