I agree...big bordered cards are the ideal ones to trim down.

This too is Evan. Also presented without comment. I am not sure how it connects to trimming cards.

I am shocked, shocked I say.

But when you can turn a $5 card into a $2000 card because there are people lined up for that $2000 card and they don't care why not.

The irony made me laugh. Evan repeatedly advised the audience to carefully perform certain doctoring tricks a specific way to avoid damaging the card. He then proceeds to cut the card’s entire top edge off.

This is why my collection is all PSA 1-5 quality. In 25 years, when all of the low grade cards are altered/doctored to be PSA 7+, my low grade cards will have unlimited potential, much like the allure of an unopened pack today.

I have sold several Authentic and low grade cards in PSA slabs to see them show back up in a new holder. The exact same card magically being a little nicer and one to 2 grades higher. Collecting lower grade cards does not mean they haven't already been worked on.
