Does common sense have a place in the world of professional grading?

My understanding is that if they were to grade those cards as individual panels, you would more than likely only receive an "authentic" grade.

1) Panels aren't intended to be redeemed as coupons.
2) If you wanted better than an "authentic" grade, you'd need to include more than just the perforation for that panel (assuming they're willing to grade them at all).

The "H" makes a little sense. At least they're distinguishing within each individual's set.

Anyways, I was completely joking about the Topps basketball. Just using an extreme example of intent.

The answer is simple. Its PSA We all should not be surprised anymore. Its sad really

any different than how BOTH PSA and SGC treat Zeenuts -- it is denoted whether it has the Coupon or Not. And Collectors obviously place a huge premium on Zeenuts with coupons.
