1943 M.P. & Co. cards

Hello, everyone! I'm new here, having received the link from a fellow collector.

I was wondering if anyone has had much experience with those cartoon-like 1943 M.P. & Co. series. My specific question concerns a card that was apparently slightly mis-cut (they are a hand-cut set): there is slight part of another card below the line on the bottom of this particular card. This, i feel probably resulted in the card receiving a low grade (PSA 2). Other features about the card look good, with some normal wear on the corners. Do you think it would be worth the risk of cracking the card out of the holder, and trying to re-cut it, closer to the line--or would this jeopardize making the card fall out of the size requirements? (thus causing the possible "Authentic" rating, or maybe even risking a "trimmed" notation, and not being graded at all?). I would guess that the "excess" below the line is no more than 1/32". The other borders look okay. I know PSA can be sticky on those borders (at least on the more "modern" hand-cut cards, like Bazookas, and Post Cereal, etc.), but was wondering if they tend to be more lenient on these old WW II issues? Do you think it's best to just leave "well enough alone" and be satisfied with the '2' the card currently has?
