Odd grading quandary. What would you do

I sent in a group of about 20 cards, including a 1992 UD Heroes Ted Williams Auto. Because the auto was before 1997, I was informed by PSA that I had to pay and get dual grading service on it. The grade just popped and it is Authentic Auto/Authentic card.
I called PSA to ask what was up with the card grading only Authentic (mint card), and was informed that it didn't meet minimum size requirements. They did, however, slab it (which seems unusual).
So, what do you think? I am getting this graded to raise value to sell, not to keep. Typically "Authentic" cards are altered or otherwise worse than a Poor 1. Do you think this will actually lower the value of the card and I'm better off cracking it out? I could pay for blue flip, but was quoted $75 bucks for that service, which seems excessive and would have to wait all over again.
What to do? Not sure at all.

Authentic/Authentic is preferable here - don't crack them out.
When it comes to autographed cards, when people see "authentic" for the card grade, they assume the submitter didn't request a grade.

It will show dual "authentic." If I were looking at the card, I would just assume you requested that.
The card with a blue flip isn't worth $75 more.

Send it to the 'other' company.
