With respect to the statement that it is "money grubbing" to have one's cards graded in order to obtain maximum value, I don't think that's money grubbing, I think that's smart business. So long as it does not run afoul of basic statutory or common law fraud standards. Knowingly submitting a trimmed card for authentication is illegal and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Submitting a card that is authentic to the grading company that will show the maximum return in investment is good business.
