It would be nice if TPGs focused on the other end of the spectrum and looked at adding different attributes for Authentic and possibly a 0.5 numeric grade. There's more of a case to be made when considering the immense variability between grades Authentic, Poor, Fair, and Good. Then again, these aren't in the range that drive behavior to gamble on a big score (i.e. Pristine).
