I just find the good looking trimmed cards to have bad karma. More than likely they duped someone at one time in their life. Someone bought that card thinking it was a NM card and then found out it was trimmed and was disappointed (cheated). I don't like the karma associated with that kind of black mark on the hobby. I want my cards to be about as far away from that as possible.

Some guy sitting under a light trimming cards with a razor blade is pretty bad and I don't think should be rewarded. As bad as that Mathewson looks to you, I think it looks better than a doctored card. I think those sharp corners stick out more sorely.

To each his own...
