Judge Dred (Fred)I like the AUTHENTIC designation. I suppose you could say that any card deemed AUTHENTIC (trimmed, rebacked, color added or whatever) should be marked as such, kind of like the PSA qualifiers.
I have a couple of PSA1 graded cards that I'm pretty certain have been trimmed (N172 and T210). Maybe the graders can't figure this out either.
Maybe the grading services would put the "qualifying" reason for the AUTHENTIC assignment if enough people made the request for them to do so.
I like this topic everytime it comes up because it brings the subject to light and maybe, just maybe one of these times something might come of it.
