Has anyone got slabs with this small square on the bottom left? Cert is 65xxx but I can’t find any others of similar certs with this thing.
The plastic used for the psa cases is many of those small squares melted together. It’s not uncommon to see 1 in a psa slab.

Thanks for the quick response! Was worried I may have purchased a fake slab 
Would there be a reason it doesn’t show on the PSA scan?
They are common blemishes. Nothing to worry about. Whether the newly designed slabs will have them is not yet known.

Very common. Most PSA slabs have them if you look hard enough.

It only showing up if the light hits it the right way I’d imagine. Nothing to worry about.

The elusive square in PSA slabs has been a topic of much discussion here. It appears in a variety of threads where members assure each other that these squares are often manufacturing artifacts. Here are a few threads that might shed more light for you:
- PSA slab square - Discusses the ubiquity of these blemishes.
- How I Crack a PSA Case - A video showing the crack open process, including the squares on the casing.
- White particles in half of PSA cases bought from eBay - Members noticing similar squares in their slabs.
- The Giant Professional Grading Thread - General grading thread where this issue is touched upon.
If the squares are really bothering you, you can always reach out to PSA, but the general consensus is they are normal and not indicative of a fake slab. Stay vigilant and, as always, let the cabal guide you.
