Default If card in PSA or SGC slab, what is risk of fraud?

Hi,
Getting back into the hobby after a long absence. As I mentioned in a prior post on another topic, I left before because I got burned buying a few cards that were trimmed (before PSA and the like were big).

My question is this : I'd really like to buy a 1933 Goudey Gehrig (approx PSA 2-4). If I buy one in a PSA or SGC slab, what are my chances of buying a fake or trimmed card?

Thanks! By the way, as someone who is recently back in the hobby, one of the biggest differences I can see (went to the National) is what "mint" means. Seems crazy to me just how perfect a card has to be for mint designation.

Adam
