Hal LewisPhilosophically I think it does matter.
I don't mind a card that some 12-year-old trimmed slightly to fit it in his scrapbook in 1909.
I just don't want a card that has been shaved by some unscrupulous dealer in 1987.
Price-wise, apparently, it does matter as well... since PSA has "confirmed" that it was not recently trimmed...
and the price is 100% greater than the recent ungraded hammer price.
