fkwThere are 2 types of "Authentic" graded cards...
One that is graded "A" because it is a handcut card (ie strip cards)
One that is graded "A" because it is altered (ie trimmed, recolored, restored, etc.)
Big difference in the type of "A" cards out there and their value. Some of the best graded cards in some sets will have an "A" because thats just the way the grading companies deal with cards that were originally handcut.
