What does this grade designation mean in my PSA account? UPDATE 1/13 got a number grade!

N0: AUTHENTIC

Does this mean not authentic or authentic with no number grade? Thanks.

The only time I ever got that, I had a card that had so many qualifiers/problems, that they wouldnt even give it a '1'.

Nah, it's not altered. It's a full ticket with multiple signatures. On the submission form, I asked for a minimum grade of 8, otherwise authenticate and slab only. It was received November 22.

On December 17, I contacted them and asked if I could change the request because I thought about it some more, and I decided I was willing to accept any number grade. So I sent an e-mail to Priscilla indicating as much, and she said she'd take care of it.

Then it popped today with the grade described above. So hopefully it's just a communication issue that can be resolved before they ship it back to me.

didnt meet the min grade so they slabbed it authentic as requested

CrazyMind2017

But it definitely passed authentication, correct?

Yep, slabbed as authentic with no numerical grade..

CrazyMind2017

Thanks. I'm kind of surprised it didn't make an 8, but after thinking about, it's so nice that I'd rather have a low number grade so there's never any doubt that it could have been altered.

I was at that game, and Well's too.

N0: AUTHENTIC = No Grade, Item/Signature Authentic

I get these when grading my off condition '48 Leafs PSA/DNA'd. For Registry purposes, N0: AUTHENTIC counts as a "1."

The ticket is on shipping hold and Priscilla is going to have a grade put on it before it ships back to me. Everything is working out fine, but I still can't believe that ticket is not at least an 8!

Thanks to Priscilla and Kristie at PSA, who both helped with this submission. I was notified that this ticket received a grade of 7 and was slabbed in a red flip.

The corners look pretty good and there aren't any significant flaws, so I still think it should have been an 8 or at least 7.5, but 7 is still solid for this type of item, and with a number grade, there will never be any question as to alteration/trimming.

I guess the ever-so-slight smudging of the Girardi and Berra signatures combined with the horizontal line of white cutting through "NEW YORK YANKEES" caused the grade to be lowered. As soon as I receive the slabbed ticket in the mail, I'll post a scan. If I get it today or tomorrow, I may bring it to the show tomorrow and try to get a bump.

CrazyMind2017

Basically the grade boiled down to a few spots and slight smudging of the Girardi and Berra signatures. Otherwise it would have been higher, but I'm satisfied with this the way it is.
