Hello All,
I picked up this Gretzky RC in a trade today. I was a little hesitant of the "Authentic" grade as I suspected it may have been trimmed. I've done a bit of research and learned they are listed as "Authentic Altered" if that's the case.
Sooooo, assuming that's true, I'm thinking of busting it open and sending it to PSA. What grade do you think it will make?
Orrrrrr, if someone wants to make me an amazing trade or PP offer, I would let it go as is.
Please let me know what you think!
sorry, forgot to add, why would the previous owner accept "Authentic" as a grade?
The answer according to my limited research is that if the owner sent it in wanting a grade of 9 or 10 only, should it not achieve that grade, it would just come back Authentic.
I get why someone would want to do that 5 years ago, but with the huge jump in value these cards have seen in the last few years, I would be happy with an 8 or 9!
