Default Why can't an altered card be graded?

Posted By: pete

I have a '67 topps juan marichal with a big spraypaint spot over his face that my brother did back in '68-'69 because juan beat the dodgers in a game he was watching... i called SGC and asked if they would slab it for me since i wanted to give it to him for christmas, the card itself is in pretty good condition except for the 2" grey spot over juan. Sean at customer service told me to include a note and he didnt think it would be a problem since i was not asking for a grade of any sort, not altered, trimmed, mark, poor, authentic or anything, just to slab it. that was thursday and i will be sending it off with a bunch of other cards on monday...sean even said they would return the fee if they didnt slab it for me...maybe this could be a way of getting a couple of cards slabbed every once in awhile...
