I have an E121 series of 120 Ruth holding bird that is trimmed. Knew it when I bought it. SGC slab bed it as authentic which is fine with me. It has the appearance of a nice card with sharp corners and looks nicer that many of the cards that have grades. I would rather have the nicer looking card than a crappy example of the same card with a grade. All of my cards are SGC graded not because I really care about the grade, but because they appear nice in their display case. Strip cards are usually graded authentic because they are "trimmed" fron the strip. Trimmed is okay in slab as long as seller says it is trimmed. Guess I'm okay with "authentic" cards.
