At the end of the day you should collect what makes you happy. I have no problem with trimmed or altered cards and in some cases, even look for them. For me they generally fall into one of 3 categories 1) cards I would not be able to afford in any other condition, 2) cards I'm happy to have just found an example of, or 3) they are some kind of wrong-back, missing color, oddity that probably shouldn't exist. That said, I cant think of 1 postwar card I would intentionally seek to get either trimmed or altered.
And just cause any thread is better with pictures
