I just looked a bit closer at a copy of ASM 101 that I recently bought for $30.

Trimmers of comics (or any collectible) should have their hands trimmed of a few fingers - the thumb & index.
Sorry to hear that, FoHun.

Could be worse...my ASM 14 is trimmed. Bought it 20 years ago before I knew to look for it. Also just noticed a color touch on my Avengers 16, sweet looking copy too

That would suck. I still haven't really graded out my nicer lower numbered ASMs. I
do know that my copy of #9 has color touch.

This is the first time I've heard of comic trimming. I guess you guys made me a little less naive.

What would you look for in comic trimming? Do you guys know of any photos that show a good example of this?

I know this was posted in the Professionally Graded Comics Board (CGC)... BUT, was this a PGX book?
Sounds like something they would let through.

It's all good, though, isn't it?
