How and where do they measure a card to see if it's trimmed?

Do they measure in multiple areas?

Trimmed is not determined by measurement. You can tell by looking at/feeling the edge.

Trimmed is not determined by measurement.

it is more easily detected by feeling or visually seeing wavy edges
but it could also be by size I would imagine

For vintage, there can be quite a range of sizes. Even if a card was originally packaged as an oversize card and trimmed to standard, the TPG would detect it a very high percentage of the time. If factory undersize, it gets a MIN SIZE REQ rather than a TRIMMED.
