Personally, I would think that if one of the "legit"—and I use that term loosely—companies tried this, then someone could use the grading companies simply as a means by which to authenticate cards that they may be unsure of. I could send in a bunch of RAW t206 cards, for example, and if they come back with number grades, then I could at least know that they aren't reprints and that they haven't been trimmed. then i could pass on paying for the card grades, get the cards shipped back to me RAW and simply grade them myself (like how they used to do it in the old days, LOL), knowing they were real and untrimmed—at least "knowing" with a reasonable amount of certainty, as I am sure that PSA and SGC have slabbed a few trimmed/reprinted cards in the past.

All in all, it would save me the time of having to untomb my cardboard, and I guess it would save PSA/SGC a lot of plastic.
