To enhance the value of the card and open the door to $$$$$ when the restoration is not disclosed down the line. Probably less than 1% of all restored cards floating around are owned by collectors who would, if the cards were sold, reveal their provenance.
I agree with Tom, keep it out. If a card is trimmed, it was done so only for purposes of enhancement of value on unsuspecting future buyers. Yes, yes I know supposedly there were a couple of old time collectors who trimmed cards to make them fit in to those pocket page holders, but you know what I mean...
I also think comparing an E94 Lajoie card to the Sistine Chapel is all apples and oranges.
