Are these dots mold?

Hi, long time lurker with a account. I hope I’m just being unnecessary paranoid about this but on the right side of the front of my shining Celebi, and more visible one the left side of the back, there are these tiny dots that on a regular holo card would look like holo bleed.


These dots are visible in some angles, but not from most. But when I first saw them I can’t unnoticed them, hence why I’m asking.

Thanks to those of you who answer, and have a good day

Uh oh, a 7X cert…GUH.

Was the card cleaned prior to grading? @triple

/s

Card was bought on Ebay already graded, a few months ago.

Very sorry for wasting the time of those of you reading this. Those dots are just imperfections on the slab that for some reason are only visible in certain angles. Can’t be mold as I just noticed its on the slab between the card and the label too. Mods should close the thread.

I’m glad everything is fine with the card. Thankfully mold is a quite rare occurrence. I used to be paranoid too, so don’t worry!

Just to let you know the scratching and dots are from putting a sleeve on the graded card. If you hold the face of the cards while putting on or taking off a sleeve, then it scratches the plastic. That’s why you should always hold the edges of a card while putting on or taking off graded card sleeves. A small amount of plastx will remove the scratches and dots easily.

Glad the mystery is solved!

Also, with all due respect, i’m very surprised that got an 8.
