WTH

Okay, I am about to go on a  

I am with kav, are we going to let that statement go by without questioning it?  Where is the empirical evidence to support the claim that "... a new group of collectors stands by this practice".  

I highly doubt there is any evidence to support that claim, therefore it is an opinion.  I know we are in some new, crazy post modern world where if someone says something it is "true" because truth is a "social construct".   

But am I to understand that trimming is now acceptable among a new group of collectors?  Maybe it is?  Maybe I am just old school. But let's not let statements like that go unchallenged. A lot of us old timers were opposed to pressing but most have come around.  Pressing at least does not remove pieces from a book.  But trimming, really?  That is acceptable now??

I believe and it is my opinion that that statement was yanked entirely out of someone's ***.  Reminds me of the famous "You gonna let that bother you?"   I have not seen a shred of evidence of this 'new group'.  Not even a hint or a whisper or an urban legend
