I tend to end up with cards with pinholes (sometimes also trimmed, sometimes not) for similar reasons. Gives the card a little more character, drives the grade to PR/FR, and usually doesn't affect the aesthetic of the card too much because little Jimmy typically didn't put the pin over Christy Mathewson's face.
