White particles in half of PSA cases bought from eBay

Hello everyone, first of all I am sorry for replying to such an old thread. I just received the slab presented below, which as you can see, features the white particle problem.

After some research I found, that it is a common issue on PSA slabs. However, I found it strage that I hadn’t noticed it on the photos provided by the seller.

As you can see the issue on the second photo seems almost non-existent. I contacted the seller, and he claims that the slab was indeed without the white particle issue when he shipped it. This would mean then that it got worse while being transported, right? Does this mean that the slab is compromised? And that it may get worse over time? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I think it’s just the lighting and angle of each pic. The 2nd one is sort of in a shadow so the particles aren’t as visible to me. Some but not all of my PSA cases seem to have these, I do not believe it would mean they were tampered with either. These newer style cases are much harder to get into so I highly doubt you have anything to worry about.
