That is correct, they would start trimming perfectly legit cards in the name of the almighty dollar.
That would be a depressing thought and hopefully, we will never see that day.

I don't know if Tbob was saying it would get those those great heights but having a NM card that has a slight trim sell for the price of a 2 to me is reasonable. I have think or a few cards where being trimmed was not frowned upon. There was a recent t210 Jackson and I believe a Magie and Plank that were all trimmed and sold for huge numbers. I have also seen lesser cards sell for good money that have been trimmed. If it's good enough on the very high end it would be good enough for someone on the low end two. Yes I understand there are plenty more T206 Cobbs in high grade then the above cards, but paying 15-20K or 1K is a big difference.
I doubt we will see card doctors get into this as it is a very unknown. I think alot of things need to be looked at for a card to bring really good money.
For instance I would love a decent Boston Store Jackson to show up with a minor trim. I could get a great looking card I need for my set without having to go against people with much deeper pockets, but that may not bid because of the trim.
The cobb pictured above is another nice example as is mine below.
