Judge Dred (Fred)Josh,
The question isn't silly at all. I'm sure that there are quite a few people that post here that have seen hundreds, even thousands of these cards and the appearance of a trimmed card may be questioned because of the size of the card in proportion to the holder, or the size of the borders in proportion to the card in general or even the cut of the cards or by seeing something that just looks wrong with the corners.
Look no further than the Harris collection of cards graded by PSA. Rather than rehash what's been beaten into the ground I'll just leave it at this: Grading companies are not infallible and some have reportedly even encapsulated altered cards... hard to believe, isn't it...
Leon - thanks for the smiley face but I was looking for a smiley face that was busting a gut, rolling on the floor laughing...
