It's hard to say, because I think it comes down to the individual card. I haven't gone after anything super rare or expensive--yet--so, I haven't had to worry. But trimming would be one. Writing (as opposed to a pencil mark) would probably be another. I can't buy a card with corners clipped, which is too bad, because there were a lot of really otherwise beautiful T206 cards up for sale recently with clipped corners. I saw them, and I nearly cried. I know they were probably scrapbooked, but I just feel they probably could have been removed without cutting the corners off. I could be wrong.
Anything where a card has been restore to deceive, I couldn't buy that card, either. Paper loss is usually a killer for me, too.
Of course, if it were a really rare card, who's to say?
