The card just was not considered for grading. It does not mean it was altered or anything else.
Not everyone wants a card graded, they are just authenticating the autograph. Plus it cost less just to authenticate the autograph.

Thanks -- but if the submitter only wants the autograph graded, isn't the card labeled "Trading Card" and Auto 10?

Some people hate the "trading card" label of just going through the PSA/DNA auto submission. So they submit under dual-grading, where you can select the type of card grading or authentication that you prefer. Normally if the card is in nice condition, the submitter will choose to get the card graded as well.
Assume the card is Poor or Altered, and anything above that is a bonus.

So back to the Authentic vs Trading Card grade. Is it assumed altered if Authentic?

It's possible. PSA reserves the right to put just AUTHENTIC on the label for space reasons even if the card is ALTERED. But as has been proven over the last 20 years, that they're terrible at detecting altered cards. So my premise was that if you consider it ALTERED, and it's not, congrats.

Does a PSA grade of "miscut" or "cut too small" mean that the card is authentic? | Archive | Net54baseball Vintage (WWII & Older) Baseball Cards & New Member Introductions | 16 | 03-30-2005 01:23 PM |
