I believe that the grading companies would encapsulate it, perhaps as authentic, or with a qualifier, just don't think they would label it with a 'Buck Barker' annotation. I don't plan on ever letting their plasticky fingers get near it.

I own one of Barker's cards too -his handwriting and style is unmistakable -and had some pretty odd experiences with the grading company (SGC) but they wont identify them as being his. What I was told by the grader was that they don't do Graphology (the analysis of the physical characteristics and patterns of handwriting), which is kind of a head scratcher.
Honestly, I can only speak for myself when it comes to grading -I think its a business and a fraud and I wouldn't trust that that a card like that would be safe. There are too many "what ifs". Anyway, it's an awesome card, thanks for sharing.
