You feel safer having someone else, usually with far less vintage card experience than yourself, put a card in a holder and tell you it's NOT trimmed ?!? Or is it that once a trimmed card is slabbed, you are fine with it? i.e, it somehow magically becomes "virgin" again?

If you can't trust your own judgement, then you have absolutely NO idea what's in that slab you are so proud of, ESPECIALLY with the high-dollar slabbed cards you see in major auctions. I think there is a lot of rationalization going on among people who have committed major chunks of income to this hobby...and to cards in slabs.
