I have no issue trimming up hand-cut cards, but you really need to have an idea why you're doing it. I had a raw W573 once that was wildly out of shape top to bottom. I trimmed it to appropriate length. It looks much better and graded 2.5. Im not necessarily a fan of trimming if the card is already below minimum size, but to each their own.

I honestly disliked strip cards that were crude renderings, but everybody has an opinion. Strip cards that had an actual likeness were fine, but I never pursued that issue.
Nothing wrong with them. I'm sure I collect stuff that other people couldn't care less about.

Strips were made to be cut so that's not an issue. What is an issue is making them look better. A card with a ragged torn edge that has extra material from another card would look much better cleaned up. I do the same to Wheaties cards, which I really like, if it makes the card look better. As far as grading, I don't care. I have several graded ones and a bunch more that would score nice grades but won't get slabbed unless/until I plan to sell. And a card:
