The "A" label generally means the card is altered and authentic and it has it's good points and bad. Yes it gives validity to the card when you are trying to sell it in an auction or through the B/S/T. But when "A' cards start selling for more themid grade cards you got to start wondering. A 33 Goudey Lajoie sold in the REA last auction was trimmed and brought in PSA 4 and close to 5 level dollars. I don't know if that is a good thing, people my be induced to altering cards to make them look perfect if that trend continues. At least before when they did not holder a card you knew it was something wrong with the card and it was a crap shoot.

Here is a good Poll idea what would you rather have in your collection:

A. Solid SGC 40 or PSA3 Card
B. Marked o rMK card that looks like an 8
C. A trimmed card that looks like an 8
D. A re-colored card that looks like an 8
