I think most of the trimming probably happened in the '80s and early '90's by greedy, unethical dealers trying to make a few extra bucks. I doubt that much trimming goes on today since the vast majority of it would be caught by one of the three big grading companies and most cards of significant value get graded before they are sold- at least in public forums like Ebay where most of the scammers hang out.
