Photographs aren't baseball cards. They don't need to have razor sharp edges. There's nothing wrong with baseball card collector sentiments in baseball cards, but baseball card sentiments don't always apply to photographs. Any serious photograph collector would rather have a photo with rough edges than one cut down to have sharp edges. "Razor sharp edges and pristine corners" are baseball card things, not photo collector things.

And knowledgeable photo people can usually tell when a photo has been trimmed.

This is also why I think there should never be professional grading for photos (I'm talking about for number/Poor thru Mint grades, not for authentication), because once that's done, idiot baseball card sellers will be trimming down photos trying to get mint 9s and 10.
