Since I have had some experience in grading just about everything here is how it works out.

Comics Books. Restoration is accepted, the comic will have a different color label and will be graded on the features in now has. So a comic will be an apprent Very Fine.

Coins. They will be refused for grading if anything has been doen to them. They can get cased similar to the AUTH grade in cards.

Acition Figures/Toys. The will get refused and will be cased if desired.

I think card graders just need to get more specific. Don't mark a card with a color touch AUTH mark it restored.

If it's trimmed mark it TRIM.

I also agree with Barry that you shouldn't avoid high end cards. Just be an informed and educated buyer.
