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

That the vast majority of people buying these slabs are probably not even members of this board. Plus we all may be aware of cards like those in Lipset's auction (McPherson trimmed caramels) but others might not. So the 'authentic but altered' category COULD/WOULD be of great help to many. In addition, to Halley's point, another column in the grading companies pop reports could identify cards that have been graded but altered which would also help verify/justify the hyping of those 9's and 10's with a truer population of graded cards. Not to say that everyone would run to get the 'authentic but altered' but I've definitely got some that I would want in holders.

The other service that SGC etal could offer would just be a holdering service to put a card in and give the series it was from with NO assertion of authenticity or grading or anything. I don't like this but it would allow some that want the encapsulation to be able to get it.
