That is what I was meaning by saying make the card "look better". Trimming has been done for malicious and innocent reasons just as rebacking has been, yet trimming (and other alterations such as recoloring) have been getting A slabs for a while. So why would rebacking not?

It just seems that the reason of sending a card to get authenticated has lost its purpose. Saying its authentic but its trimmed, this card is authentic but recolored, and now this card is authentic but rebacked. But only if you use certain paper to reback or if its a poor reback job then now we wont authenticate it. Give me a break. I understand sending a card in to find out if it has alterations or even what the grade is. But sending in a rebacked card seems like a stretch.

I do agree with you that the material used to reback making a difference on if it gets slabbed is a strange.

I do think that slabbing the card as authentic makes sense, though, because you still want to know that just because the back doesn't look right it is still an authentic front and it is period.

Also collectors may like the uniformity of having their collections look the same so they want it their cards in similar holders (TPG holders, a certain screw down, or other type).
