Error Authentication Without Encapsulation 0

[ShockerB37]

I have a card which may have additional ink on the front, but I'm unsure.  I'm planning to send it to CGC for grading (and paying for the error), but there's a chance the card is too damaged to be encapsulated.

I've not had this happen before, but in the event the card gets sent back to me ungraded, could I still receive some confirmation from CGC on the authenticity/inauthenticity of the error?

Thanks,

Brett

Hello,

Thank you for your question. If we were not able to encapsulate the card, we would not be able to send any type of authentic guarantee back with this card. Let us know if you have any other questions.
