Yeah, I assumed that you only get it graded from PRO if you're trying to get away with something. Now, I'm actually not all that concerned with buying a trimmed card, at least not since people bidding on PRO cards are going to bid as if it's trimmed (or worse). (And if they're bidding on it as if it's really got a high grade on it, then I'll avoid the auction.) But I really do care if it's genuine or a counterfeit.
If they do grade counterfeit cards, then I think I'll never bid on any PRO cards. In fact, if they will actually slab a counterfeit, it probably means that the probability that a PRO slabbed card is counterfeit is higher than the probability that a raw card is counterfeit (since you know ahead of time that someone selling a PRO card is trying to get away with something, and that could be what they're trying to get away with).
