This is not my opinion but what I have actually done and continue to do. I have posted many times I have cut up a LOT of full sheets. I also make it clear when I sell those cards they are sheet cut.

What I have noticed is that even though I say when I sell sheet cut card or cards I know or believe to be altered when the buyer resells them they ALWAYS forget to note the card(s) are altered/sheet cut.

You can only control your own sale.

Something that I still struggle with when it comes to cards that need disclosures. For a while we refused to sell them because of their potential impact on the hobby down the line. I finally decided that I have to be ethical but I can't enforce ethical behavior on others. I'm sure people are out there doctoring legit cards they bought from us, so if I can't prevent that what's the difference on a trimmed or recolored card as long as I disclose it.

Of course it still gives me pause, but I can only be responsible for my own actions.

That's all you can reasonably do, I agree.
