I spoke with the grader at GAI at the Hollywood Park show and was told that they will slab a card as authentic if you do not want a numerical grade assigned. What you do is indicate "authenticate only" on the submittal. In terms of a card with color on it, you should call and ask them. I have one (an E103) that the dealer, with whom I am friendly and who had no reason to lie to me, said that they did authenticate after refusing to grade because of a recoloring. of course, that recoloring was so amateurish (I think it was a crayon) that it looked like a little kid did it a long time ago.
