Default "Authentic"

Posted By: PASJD

Does that mean any card is authentic so long as it is not a reprint, even if it has been trimmed, bleached, recolored, had pinholes filled, had corners rebuilt, been "stablilized," had creases taken out, etc. etc.? Do those who advocate this "designation" for lack of a better word propose that the grading service tell the buyer which of these many evils have been perpetrated on the "authentic" card, or does the designation alone suffice? I don't know, something tells me it is opening up Pandora's box.
