I recently got some trimmed comics in a collection I purchased. Not obvious until you look closely.
I see elsewhere on the web where --- if otherwise in top condition, a trimmed comic can get a grade of 7.5 https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/1044/i-finally-got-burnt---asm-17-trimrestore/
Other places I see 4.5 to 5.5 range. https://www.comicpriceguide.co.uk/features.php?id=14
Does anyone have a guide/tips/tricks as to how to grade? Amateur trim of about 1/16 of an inch one or two edges - hard to see unless you compare to a good copy.
I do NOT need... How did I not see it, blah. blah, blah. ??? As a reminder - comics from the 1960s and 70s occasionally had printing offsets that are not trims or defects - just that the graphics are not center n the paper - this does not necessarily indicate a trim. At this point - it is what it is.
Thanks

You misunderstood the point of my post so I'll change my advice: You probably shouldn't buy collections ever!
