It got me thinking...I can't be the only one who can see this. The trimming scandal has been discussed at length on various websites. However, these cards seem to be selling at a brisk pace.
The point of my rant is this:
I'd like your opinion. What percentage of collectors do you feel either don't know or don't care that this is a widespread problem? With the recent influx of new "investors" into the hobby, I'm thinking this percentage is very high.

It has been a few years ago but there was a thread on here asking the question about altered cards in PSA slabs. I was amazed at how many said they didn't care about the card and the flip was the most important part. In my opinion the very few collectors in the hobby seem to care the most. The dealers and flippers do not care at all.
