But for items where that is not the case, as with this Kimball page, an "A" grade gives one the false impression something important is wrong with the item.
CSG does that. I had two cards come back graded "AA" (Authentic Altered) and one come back graded "AU" (Authentic; it was a handcut card cut a little too close).
