Every grading company for cards has a grade for that too…authentic or altered authentic. No big difference.

The comic book argument holds no water.
I dislike the practice of cleaning and pressing comics. However, CGC allows you to submit books for cleaning, pressing, and grading. If the comic was deemed unaltered before CGC gets it, it won’t get an “altered” designation when cleaned, pressed, graded and encapsulated.

I don’t agree with or understand it….but that’s the world of comic grading.
