The SGC registry actually designates an 'Authentic' as a .5

Sad. Truly sad. Authentic should not have a numeric grade.

Isn't it really the only way you can give any registry member credit for owning a copy of the card by giving them a .5? I guess I don't see the big deal. It is a real card. If the registry mattered to me (and it doesn't) I could see wanting to get some level of credit for having the card.

Not new, nor is it a creature.

It's just a number that is only used within the registry.
It means very little to any one who doesn't use the SGC registry but helps those that do.
It allows the numbers to add up to something well, numerical...and assign percentages towards completion.

If you have a SGC graded card and participate in their registry, then you can add these authentic cards into your set. It's that simple.

The "5" does not appear on the flip. I'm curious why that would matter even if it did?
