Fred CI've heard different stories for grading companies assigning the big A or AUTH on the label. I remember someone trying to convince me that the AUTH or A was put on the label because the submitter didn't want the card graded below a certain level... poohie on that... I'd take a low numerical grade over the AUTH or A designation.
IMO the A or AUTH is fine with me. I'll take the card with the A or AUTH at a reduced price if it presents well. Sure, it may be altered (trimmed, colored or whatever) but if it presents like a nicer card I don't care. Lets not kid ourselves, I'm sure we'd all agree that there are cards in 6 (or greater holders) that should be in A or AUTH holders. What about that T206 card of you know who that is graded an 8.
