Rob, you aren't a weirdo and you are definitely in the majority. I remember a thread or poll 4-5 years ago asking members if they preferred authentic and sharp looking albeit trimmed cards or hammered SGC 10s and PSA 1s and most favored the numbered examples. I remember posting that I felt that in the future the slightly trimmed but beautiful caramel and tobacco cards would exponentially increase in value and pull ahead of the 10s and 1s but hardly anyone agreed. I still think this is going to happen one day.
