Hello Barry and Aaron. My ASA and CSA experience was much better. In 1996, I purchased the entire ASA and CSA graded collection at the estate sale of a Kentucky collector who had passed away. There were over 900 slabs!
It took quite some time to bust them all open and send them to PSA. None were deemed trimmed by PSA. Not one!
Nearly all of the PQ grades......7PQ, 8PQ, 9PQ were graded as equivalent....PSA 7, 8, 9
However, the straight grades were dropped one grade consistently...ASA 7 = PSA 6.....etc.
Best wishes......George
