If you're getting the card signed, does it really matter if the card is trimmed or not?

I assume that you are going to get the autograph graded or authenticated; don't the TPG's just assign a grade to the auto anyway?

PSA and BGS both offer dual grading for the card and autograph.

This ^ it's also for my own peace my mind as well because I don't know if I'd be okay with having a card I knew was trimmed no matter how noticeable/nice it was! Haha

Buy one already graded, crack it, get it autographed and then get in regraded. There is no guarantee with anything, but this is as close as you can get. You could pull one from a pack and there is still no guarantee that it would not come back trimmed.
