Authentic is usually put on a card that is real but has been altered in some shape or form. There could be a number of things, trimmed, color added, etc... |

The operative words in those phrases ar "may be" and "usually." There seems to be very little rhyme or reason in using the "Authentic" grade, as well as "OC," "MK," "MC," etc.- not to mention the number grades from one card to another. The uncertainty gets even worse when trying to compare the standards of one grading company to another. |

It can be assumed that a PSA 'authentic' csrd is authentic, but, as noted, there likely is an issue with it. |

Novice question: PSA "Authentic"
Posted By: Mike
I realize there is no definate book, but as a general rule, how much does real minor trimming affect the price of a card? For example, if a card would normally grade as a PSA 3 and have a market value of $500, but has very minor trimming and is labeled "Authentic" by SGC or PSA, what would the card expect to sell for? |

A PSA 3 T206 Matty Portrait goes for around $500. I saw a PSA Authentic encapsulated Matty Port go for $150 that looked like it would grade a 2 without the problems that gave it the authentic designation. I would say 1/5 - 1/4 of the price of an untrimmed card. |
