What does a PSA/DNA label look like when been tampered with?

I bought three signed photographs (Gary Oldman, Denzel Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio) on Ebay that were certified by PSA/DNA. But when I got the pictures in person, the labels look a bit... off. Now this is the first time I've ever bought items like these before, so I don't know how to tell if a PSA/DNA label has been tampered with or not. I've Googled everywhere and I can't find a tampered-with label. Anyone care to help out? Is it possible for someone to remove their label from an authentic item and putting it on a fake? I'm REALLY hoping I didn't make a costly mistake here. Thanks!

If someone tried to remove the new PSA/DNA hologram from the certified item or the PSA/DNA LOA, the sticker will automatically separate into two layers, splitting the sticker into two distinctly different pieces.

The prior version of the PSA/DNA sticker, which featured blue and red type against a white background, contained a "checkerboard" feature in the event that someone would attempt to remove it.

it would be pretty stupid to do that. but there are a lot of idiots out there. psa/dna costs a lot of $ to use and its easy to tell if they've been tampered with.

try tracking the number on it and at least see if it matches with the item in their database. they also use invisible like ink you might be able to see with some kind of blacklight or something. i'm sure you can contact the people at psa/dna and they'd be willing to help you out i'm sure.
