For PSA, I've gotten plenty of cards slabbed Authentic, which were likely trimmed. For PSA, slabbing trimmed cards is up to the grader. Therefore, it can be hit or miss. I usually write a note on my submission asking them to slab any card with Authentic that does not receive a number grade, if possible. From my experience, PSA will typically encapsulate trimmed prewar cards, but postwar cards, they will not slab (unless they are originally hand cut). For example, I once tried to get them to slab an 1969 Topps Lew Alcindor card as Authentic, but they refused because they thought it was trimmed.
