pretty sure I can sub to be graded and if it doesn't get a number grade have the encapsulate it as authentic altered. Assuming id have an outside chance to get a number grade if I did it this way and cracked it out?

You do have to request that, specifically. Otherwise you're going to end up with a cardsaver if it's deemed to be altered.

If you don't absolutely have to have it in a PSA slab, SGC might be a great option. A little less expensive to slab and you can just check a box when you make your submission so they will encapsulate it regardless if it receives a grade or is determined to be altered.

No it doesn't have to be in a PSA slab, but I want it in a slab. I like the SGC option you pointed out. If they deem it altered the SGC slab would just say "Authentic" if the card is deemed authentic but altered correct?

No, it will say Authentic and then the specific reason it was determined to be altered.

Or sometimes will say Authentic Altered if there are maybe multiple issues…not sure exactly when they use that version versus the more specific verbiage.

But I don’t think you can get a straight Authentic if they find an alteration.

I know I have seen altered SGC cards that just say "A" so I was curious. Im not totally sold with PSAs assessment that this one is altered either. I think sometimes they are biased or don't grade accordingly if you ship encapsulated in a different holder, especially one that has been gone for years and not very reputable. Didn't buy it for a number grade however, like I said bought it for the eye appeal willing to accept that its likely altered. Who knows, still might get a number grade maybe with SGC over PSA especially if I crack it out?
