1955 Roberto Clemente PSA 7 Tampered?

[Forrester]

I just recently bought a PSA 7 clemente rookie and i got in the mail Friday. It looks good, and I probably am just being paranoid, but I was wondering what is yall's thoughts? Thanks in advance!

case looks good. don't see any signs of frosting. I see a few of those spider cracks on a few of my cards that I've gotten back from psa directly.

of course i'd scan the card and hold the flip up to a light and such anyways...

and naturally you could submit it to psa for a review under the guise of a bump and get authentication, peace of mind and you'd have back up paperwork if ya ever needed to sell, which is a plus I guess.

So those spiderweb cracks on the the upper corners in the exact location are normal? That was what got me worrying, but I did not see any of the normal frosting I have seen on pictures of tampered ones. I had thought about getting it regraded to try for a 7.5 since its an old label anyways, but after receiving it, it does not seem to have much of a chance (closer to 6.5 than 7.5 to me). I am also going to add some more pictures, thanks again!

I don't see any obvious issues with the case. Most of mine have minute issues and imperfections from being mailed, crammed in a safe, looked at, etc.

Thanks for input! Here is the last of the pictures. So do you all think I should still send it to PSA to get regraded? Or just re-slabbed? Or keep it as is. Your input is appreciated. And begsu1013, what to you mean by hold it up to the light? I will get some scans tonight.

That case is fine. I get them back AT PSA like that. Spider wrinkles in those corners are normal. Frosting along an entire edge is what's bad.

Neither. I think you should keep it as is and just enjoy it. It is a beautiful card, no need to spend the money when the end result might not be much better as PSA slabs aren't always flawless (not a knock on them, it's just small scratches and imperfections are likely inevitable when sealing a card).
