I’ve noticed 4 psa slabs I got from a particular seller all have this weird discoloration(?) in the case. Any idea on what it is?
The little dots under the label? Probably some plastic residue, similar to the little plastic squares that are on top of some cards. Got it on some I graded myself too, nothing to worry about.

Checked a card I got back from PSA just today and it has the same exact dots. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Just a common manufacturing defect
I’m working on getting a company going called Professional Sports Authenticator Authenticator where we grade PSA slabs. IMO this one is probably a PSAA 7 at best.

I think we will need PSAAA just to keep you and your PSAA in line PFM.

Does no one think the “little plastic squares” are a serious problem?

This has me laughing so hard 
Hmm, seems that PSA slabs aren’t always up to scratch.
I’ve been searching high and low for answers on this label ‘specking’ issue, perhaps just printer error?

I’ve seen this on quite a few of the newer cases, not sure exactly why though. As far as I can tell they are nothing worse than just a mild annoyance.
The plastic dots or the blue specks?
The plastic dots. I haven’t actually noticed any of the blue specks on any of my PSA cards.
