Even 10+ years ago there were people looking for cards with large borders because some people would perform a little card "surgery" before submitting them to be graded. Obviously, the overall appearance of the card makes a difference. If the card is a beater and would only grade a "1" or "2" on its own merits then no amount of doctoring would help the card and it wouldn't be worth the extra $$$ to purchase the card (for the wrong intent).
