Is there a difference between a PSA 1 and PSA "authentic"

Wow that 1910 Orange Borders example shows some brutal inconsistency.

Edited to add: I wonder if you showed them both cards, which one they would have to change? I guess you would run the risk of having the Chase knocked down to an "A".

Honestly, what's the difference between a 10 and an A on a handcut card? There are certain issues of which the grades make no difference to me when I buy the card. Beyond the Orange Borders, the W555 usually makes no difference to me gradewise:

Same goes with S-74s for the most part as the grades are handed out with no rhyme or reason:

I don't collect many hand-cut examples, however I think that kind of inconsistency is pretty gross. I would totally be discouraged if I had 2 cards that more or less look the same with 2 totally different grades.
