In the last group sub, I sent this Mantle in. Wasn't expecting a high grade or anything by any means, but when it came back as "authentic" I was befuddled. There was no explanation whatsoever...

Someone theorized that perhaps some sort of factory miscut led to that particular grade, but who knows? No matter what the reason is for the label, the moment anyone sees the word "authentic," they are going to read it as "altered" or worse.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
