Posted By: <b>John J. Grillo</b><p>If you call GAI a call for example and say you have a card that is either trimmed and/or you want to encapulate it, they'll assign an authentic grade to this.<br /><br />My understanding is that SGC and PSA will not do so.<br />

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>GAI will slab the card as authentic for anyone so long as it's a significant card. PSA has been known to do so as well, at least I have an "authentic-trimmed" PSA card.

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>I have a GA authentic graded t206 chance with a blank back.<br />I always assumed that they graded cards that are supposively "hand cut" as authentic, but I'm really not sure if GA or PSA have any rhyme or reason when it comes to how they authenticate cards.<br />It should be written clearly on their website.
