If so, not a criteria for grading a card. A card should be assessed by its merits; its importance is irrelevant.

It's hard to start a grading company by rejecting a card.

Giving the Wagner an AUTH wouldn't be rejecting it. And they could have set the tone for their new grading business that we will strive to get this thing right. Never has a business started off on worse footing than grading that card an 8. Shameful.

Unfortunately, their enormous success starting from that foundation speaks for itself.

I don't think AUTH came in until years later, could be wrong.

You may be right about that. So back then a trimmed card couldn't be slabbed, it would have had to been rejected. Interesting dilemma.

They should have started their grading at a grade of TRIMMED and then go from there. Wouldn't that have been the correct way to do it?

In The Card, if I recall right, Bill Hughes said there was a consensus that they had to grade it given the context as the card being used to launch the business.

Yes, that would have worked fine. Coins that are say in otherwise Fine condition, but have been cleaned, burnished, or whatever, are not given a numerical graded but are slabbed as "Fine Details".

Perhaps the Wagner could have been labeled "NR MT/MT Details."
