I don't think the realization that trimmed cards are being slabbed will have that much of an impact on the hobby for a simple reason: too many very wealthy and powerful people have huge amounts of money invested in slabbed cards, and they will not let anything get in the way of them profiting on their investment. The news will just get swept under the rug like so many other things in our world today.

In short, financial gain trumps the truth.

I wonder how many of the newer generation of collectors even care.

They probably do not. If the slab says it's good, then it's good.

Barry you may recall the great Wallace Stevens line, What we said of it became a part of what it was.
