Poll time - what percentage of PSA 10s are doctored?

It would make more sense to do this by issue. Obviously T206s and CJs and E93s are more likely to be trimmed than W600s and postcards.

Why do you assume this jeff? As hot as postcards have been?

I don't think high grade PCs are as valued relative to lower grade by collectors as high grade baseball cards are to lower graded cards. Oftentimes a perfect fronted PC will have been postally used and it's rendered a 1 when it would otherwise by a 5-6. Plus trimmed PCs are easier to spot due to the fact that they rarely have fat white borders. If you trim a PC, you end up losing some of the pictured front usually or some of the writing on the back.
