They are idiots. It is as simple as that.
The first card was “bent and then torn” by the original owner, the second was trimmed with scissors by the original owner. There is no reason to give the second one an Authentic grade other than the grader doesn’t know what they are looking at. You were meant to trim the coupon off so if they are designating that the coupon is off it shouldn’t matter what method of removal was used.
