PaulI can see why they wouldn't simply label the card as "authentic." In a holder, it might not be obvious that the card has been skinned, so someone could pass off the card as whole. But that's always the problem with the "authentic" designation. You never know if the card has been retouched, trimmed, or what. I think it would make perfect sense if they slabbed the card and labelled it "Authentic - Skinned," "Authentic - Trimmed," "Authentic - Recolored", or whatever the particular problem is.
