As mentioned previously, I believe there is going to be a market in the future for "AUT" (authentic) graded cards, especially the rarer cards and those with almost imperceptible trimming. While some collectors will turn those noses up at them and prefer mangled SGC 10s or PSA 1s, I think this is an area of the hobby which will become increasingly "hot" in years to come. SGC is now grading cards as "AUT" which have major paper loss on the back and some of these, especially some of the caramel cards I have seen floating around, have very nice fronts.
