Is a Partial card "Authentic"?

I jsut came across this auction and this thought came to mind "Is a partial card authentic?"

I personally do not belief they should be holdered at all or at least a mention that it is a partial card would be good.

Why not, as long as it is labeled properly.

Looks like Beckett got this one right to me.

I would not have thought that a Wheat end panel was valuable enough to have graded.

Discounting the current slump in prices, t202 end panels, especially of HOFers have sold for what I think is stupid money relative to what they are. I used to pick them up as cheap fillers for my player set, but prices got stupid. A few years ago, you get the Cobb for around $25. The last one I noticed on eBay went for almost $300.

I was wondering the same thing? Here is my half Mayo Ward...which I "really" like.



This more closely represents the topic. This is half of two cards, the other card of a nobody was cut off (PSA was nice enough to crease it for me but I resubmitted and got a bump). So I guess the answer would be yes, a half card could be authentic or in this case, gradable.

If you carefully pencil in a bottom border on the Ward, PSA will grade it as a w555.
