tbobPSA told me that they would not grade any of my 1909 Obaks which were hand cut (as almost half of them were, as opposed to the 1911 and 1912s which were almost never hand cut) as authentic, instead returning them to me ungraded and designated "trimmed."
SGC flatly refuses to grade cards as authentic. Period.
I am not aware that GAI is grading cards as authentic either, where they have been trimmed.
I don't know where you guys are getting your information...I must not know the right people or something because my trimmed and some not trimmed cards come back "trimmed" and not graded, not "authentic."
