They won't because of the trimming paranoia you mention in the first part of the post.
Most people here get that quality control was variable on older cards, and that it's how the edge compares to other factory cut edges.
But most collectors would see it short in the holder and assume that different size=trimmed=graders have no clue.
(Many of them don't, but the short card or the one with weird cuts isn't always trimmed. )
