To me, it really depends on why the card was deemed authentic. Some get the label because they were trimmed to look more minty. Others get the label because of a piece of tape on the back. Others get it because too much of the card is missing.
To me, I look at a card differently if it was altered with apparent malicious intent (in order to attempt to increase its value) than I do if it is deemed authentic due to some other technical reason - like the piece of tape for example. I can see the value being above, below, or equal to a "1" grade depending on why it is "A" and depending on its appearance.
I wouldn't equate an "A" to a "0".
