The fact that we put up with people that are complicit (or as evidenced in this thread) or are apologists for this behavior is simply gross.
Just because you can sneak something by a grader doesn't excuse that it is still a really s***ty thing to do.
People that condone it or try to justify it as anything else are equally gross.
We should be way more upset about these things than we seem to be.

I've been quite clear about the fact that slicing up cards for profit is a sh**y thing to do. I'm merely pointing out the reality of the situation. And the reality is that most people don't care as long as a card passes grading, and that there are millions of trimmed cards that are completely undetectable even by the best and most experienced graders. What the consequences of those facts are, and seemingly even the mere acceptance of them as fact, is what is up for debate.
