Why can they be so much cheaper? Why not buy authentic in these situations? Does the fact that the card is trimmed really reduce the aesthetic and sentimentality for people? Am I missing something?

Happy holidays and thanks for your insights.
Sometimes I do buy authentic over low grade cards especially when looking at high dollar cards
