would it be so hard for the 4 legitimate grading companys to get together and have a common purpose in issuing a grade of AUTHENTIC (TR or HC)on any card issue which has been cut after it leaves the factory. this should inclde strip cards,cards w/coupons cut off and just your ordinary old trimmed pre war issue. would it be possible thru this board (to get to them) to agree to such a thing? how about the auction houses getting in on this too. show or tell about the discrepencies in this type of grading,i know it happens all the time and within the same grading company(s). here is a card (that i sold)that has a NM grade....it was hand cut! |

I don't mind the Authentic grade, what I would like to see is something added saying way it was authentic. Sure you can assume most would be trimmed if they otherwise looked nice but how hard would ut be to add a little TR to the flip.... |

I cannot imagine any scenario, no matter what the opinion of this board, that would compel the grading companies to change their m.o. on grading hand cut cards. |

I think Marc is spot on about this. No reason to change. |

Obviously, cards that didn't have the coupons trimmed off should be eligible for a numeric grade. All hand cut cards should only be given an AUT label with an HC type of qualifier. |

Why hasn't someone invented a machine where you put the card on a conveyor, goes under a scanner, which measures size, width, color, authenticity, trimming, etc.? Then the computer determines what the grade should be by the criteria set forth by the programmer. In my opinion this would take the grading out of the hands of someone who may be tired, may have looked at many cards that day, may give someone who is a large dealer who sends in hundreds of cards a month a better grade, ETC. Probably a stupid idea but I think it would clean up a lot of altering of cards, fakes, or subjective grading. Ok boys tear me up!!! |

I actually would much rather have a nice looking "authentic" grade (maybe trimmed a little or missing some paper on the back that doesn't detract from the eye appeal) than a 1 or 2 or 3 that looks poor or has creases. One of my favorite cards -- a T205 Addie Joss -- is in an SGC authentic holder. |

There was a grading company that did just that, although their name escapes me as of right now. I think it was CTA? |
