I recently picked up the following card online ....

Now when I picked up the card in my hands, I noticed immediately that the top portion of the slab was not properly aligned with the bottom portion of the slab as indicated in this pics ....

I own quite a few "newer slabs" and both portions of the slab seem to fit perfectly together. Is it common for the older PSA slabs to be in this condition. The person I bought it from has an excellent reputation as a dealer and I want to know as much as possible about this before continuing any further.
Hopefully there are some collectors experienced with older PSA slabs. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
