Default Problems with requesting an "authentic" grade?

Posted By: Lee Behrens

The "A" means Altered, not authentic. There is a key to all the letter designations on the website.

My last submission I designated 2 cards for Authenticaation, one my E94 Wagner, I knew was trimmed and just wwanted it holdered, they goofed and marked it trimmed and didn't holder it but are going to holder it next time I submit. I think this gives some credence to what Richard said about the graders not seeing the instruction sheet. The second card (T206 Merkle, Lenox back, no name) got graded a 10, I thought an odd grade because the card has no creases.

I think I will do the blanket Auth if does not grade. I am ammassing quite a T206 collection of nice trimmed cards, hoping to get them at least holdered.
