Holy crap, the TPG actually used the AUTHENTIC label and indicated "evidence of trimming." Yes, I'm surprised. It'd be funny if it were cracked, resubmitted to another TPG and came back with a numerical grade. It's a pseudo-8!
In the past, I thought AUTHENTIC meant the card was pretty trashed (but real) and/or there was evidence of some type of alteration. It's nice to see the TPG actually called out the alteration and labeled it as such. I tell you what, if the price to be paid was less than a "1" (because of the alteration), then I wouldn't mind having it because at least it presents very nice.
Edited to add - it'd be nice to see the back and the wear on the rear.
