What would you grade this 52 mantle at?

That's pricey, but I assume there is a good reason for that high price?

Side question, how do these companies, SGC, PSA or Beckett Authorize cards?

Am I also to assume, if your card is graded and slabbed it is also Authorized?

When you say "Authorized" do you mean "Authenticated?" Yes, if any of those services slabs your card with a number grade on the card, they are calling it authentic and unaltered. And many have an insurance policy that protects a buyer if their authentication is later found to be in error.

Rough week for me! Yes, I meant authenticated, not sure where I got authorized from??
