Agree, focus only on verifying authenticity of the card and whether or not it has been altered. Alteration can be a bit more nuanced though as it could include things like trimming, soaking, erasures, wax/stain removal, recoloring, addition/subrtaction of material, etc.
I would leave the grading, a totally subjective measure, to the eye of the beholder. Sort of like beauty.
