Well my first R303-A came back through the portal and it was given an altered grade. The only thing I could possibly think of is the two tape residue marks on the top. Just seems ridiculous though to punish my grandpa for altering his cards for hanging them up 80 years ago and taking them down.

Would it be worth submitting to SGC instead? I wasn't expecting a high grade. Maybe a 1 or 1.5, or even Authentic. But definitely didn't see this coming.

(Note that the blotchy look on front and back is due to protective covering, it is not damage)

Edit: I have taken a few deep breaths now... I'm very thankful that it is an authentic card at least and am just happy to have it preserved. I'm not really mad or upset at this point, more just confused

Edit: SGC has been grading my 1939s 1.5 to 2.0 range. Probably going to move Ted to SGC

Final Edit: SGC graded it a 1.5.
