Here's an early example of a Gary Moser altered card first sold through PWCC (the first documented sale on record, in any event). The right edge of this '55 Bowman Bednarik card has been slightly trimmed to give it an artificial rough cut look. The small paper fiber image comparison below shows that there is some white showing between the fiber and the right edge on the PSA 7, but none on the PSA 8, confirming the alteration. Blue circles are print marks and/or paper fibers common to the two sets of images, confirming they are of the same exact card. Red boxes shows the trimmed edge, while the purple boxes highlight the location of the telltale paper fiber.
