I did the same thing. I'm new to this board and not an expert either, but after reading a few threads and posts about how to spot cards that look like they got tampered with in slabs, I went back and looked at my small collection and started to see signs every where ha ha. I got all paranoid looking on EBay too. I started noticing frosting spots and scratching thinking everything was tampered with. Got ALL paranoid.
I'm all settled down now...... Going thru the learning curve I guess

Here is a good example of a frosted PSA case. The auction house in this case MISSED it. Not sure whatever became of this example, but the case is definitely compromised! Look on the left directly across the NY in his cap and follow it all across the top to the same point on the right hand side.

Thanks for that Mantle example which is really helpful to look at; surprising that could get by an auction house!
