Returned cards from trimming scandal showing up on Ebay

The most valuable card to me is one that shows very clearly there is no possible signs of trimming. Signs of edge wear on a 100+ year old card with wide borders carries a premium over skinny perfect borders.

I agree 100%...

Is that while it may be crystal clear to us and folks at blowout, I presume from a legal standpoint at best these cards are "alleged to have been altered", but not found so in a legal sense.

While I am no fan of nor choose to do business with Probstein or PWCC for reasons clearly called out in multiple threads here, there are clearly many who choose to ignore the facts and poor service in pursuit of stuff.

I totally agree. I've been buying more and more raw cards that clearly have not been trimmed and enjoying them just as much. Even modern sized cards in a recessed screw down, like the 1962's I've been working on, look as good to me as any slabbed card.
