I think people have a number of ways to justify it.
- The idea that whatever you collect isn't what the doctors are working on. Unfortunately trimming isn't limited to high grade vintage or high dollar modern. The reality is that if they can turn a $1 card into a $10 PSA card, then they will.
- The idea that the problem is only with a small percentage of cards. I somewhat agree with this position and think that it is only a small percentage, whether that is 1% or 25%, I don't know. My personal problem with this is that I can't detect which ones it applies to.
Another overlooked problem with all of this is the large number of raw cards that are trimmed and caught by the grader and rejected or butchered so bad that the doctor knows it won't pass grading. There are an incredible amount of raw trimmed cards now in circulation that aren't easy to detect for most of us.
