As more and more people learn how to do it, it'll become less and less taboo. People are simply afraid of what they don't understand. They think soaking a card should damage it somehow. But they're wrong.
And if they're slabbed, the market values trimmed cards whose grade has been improved by trimming more than the prior untrimmed versions. And therefore what?
