Valuing Authentic Cards vs. PSA/SGC Poor 10/1

[g_vezina_c55]

Like i said in the past i prefer a creased graded 1 card over a altered card ...

Same for Car collecting.. i prefer a survivor car with some paint defect, scratch etc over a full 100% restored trailer queen car....

Same things in comic book collecting.... In comic book when a book is altered or restored the color of the label change blue to purple... and the detail of the restoration is on the label and the comic have a numerical restored grade.... and in this case too i prefer a 100% original item with defaut over a restored item.

For me AUTH is under psa 1 or sgc 10.
My humble opinion.

Depends on the card. My pride and joy (pictured below - because I show it off whenever I get a chance) was graded authentic because it was a handcut stripcard and doesn't have enough of the borders.

Question:

If I submit a card to say, SGC, and it turns out it is altered, does it get slabbed into an 'Authentic' holder, or do I have to state 'Authentic' as an acceptable grade with the submission?

My understanding is that if you submit for a grade, and it turns out the card it trimmed, colored, etc... they do NOT slab the card.

Thanks for the clarification, Dave

I think you have to explicitly mark off a section on the form that says you want the card slabbed authentic if it cannot receive a number grade. Otherwise they will not slab it.

I've never seen an altered qualifier on a card graded authentic by SGC, is that something new? In that same vein, on newly slabbed SGC cards (since the new flip let's say) can one now assume that a card grade authentic, with no altered qualifier, is indeed not altered? It's weird that they would specifically mention it on some flips and not on others when assigning the grade authentic.

Don't know about altered but they recently started adding rebacked to Authentic flips.

Somebody tired to repair a slight crease on the back of the card besides that it is a beautiful Jackson. Rob
