Default here is the deal with SGC "authentic"
Posted By: Elliot

Scott, I respectfully disagree with you with regards to grading altered cards. I think people with cards that are trimmed (for example) want to know that the cards are authentic as much as people with unaltered cards. I think you summarize it quite well in your two contradictory (IMO) statements. The first...99% of this board know the difference in a real card and a dover reprint, and the second....again the principal purpose of this grading standard seems to enable the owner to validate the originality of a card . If 99% of the people know the difference (whether the card has been altered or not) why then do they need to validate the originality of the card, and if they need to validate the orginality of the card, why does it matter whether it has been trimmed or not.

BTW, Good Luck with Leon this weekend you'll probably need it
