Is this like some "Schrödinger's Card" thought experiment?
If you trim a card and send it to PSA, it's still a trimmed card, regardless of the label that PSA slaps on it.
As an aside, I find it amusing that people often repeat the mantra, "Buy the card, not the slab," suggesting that the card is the actual product and the slab is just a plastic vessel that someone slapped a number on.
But when we're talking about card doctoring, the conversation quickly morphs into a philosophical discussion over whether the slab is the product, and the card itself is just window dressing.
