great thread: I brought this up to my primary buyer and have posted about this before.
I am a moralist when it comes to business, I am diligent and clean my boards as much as possible with out removing value.
I used to remove the bracket from finger cards, even after being told I didn't have to but still got the same price as those not so diligent after a while I quit doing it and I feel guilty every time I throw one in the box.
I suggested that the buyers do a photo shoot or video of what premium trimmed boards are. and got no response. lets face the facts. me and others that are concerned about the products we send to buyers are subsidizing those who aren't. just like a store, they all charge a premium on every item to cover theft, you pay that so they are forcing you to subsidize the thieves.
in this case we are subsidizing those who are either not properly educated, lazy, or just plain cheats. my .02
