I've had very good luck with KSA, although admittedly mostly for vintage hockey and OPC cards. The reputation for leniency/neglect regarding trimming seems well-deserved from a number of graded cards I've examined. Here that isn't in question. Personally, I'v never had a problem with them authenticating fake cards.
That said, I'm kind of amazed by the price on this card. Maybe it's a good investment...I certainly don't know. But for my own collection, at some point down the chain, I'd probably either do without or cave and by a replica for aesthetic purposes and call it a day.
