Hydnr Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Hello, Opened this unique card (G Cole) and would like to have it incased. It was clearly handled when it was being painted. Would folks recommend authentication/encased or should I get it graded?

It was clearly handled when it was being painted. Would folks recommend authentication/encased or should I get it graded? I think it looks great as is so I would just have it authenticated. If it is indeed hand painted then that's what gives it the value, along with being limited in availability, therefore I'd argue the actual value of the card isn't resting so much on whether it was handled or not. It's hard to see where it was handled from the pic you posted so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Great card and it would be great to have authenticated for sure. Also, don't listen to the person who first responded to you. He's a big baby and doesn't like CSG for whatever crazy reason and just goes around dogging them when and wherever he can.
