Open a few packs of 2024 Topps, put them in a stack, and look closely. One will see they are actually several different sizes and discernible by eye alone, and the stack won’t be uniform on close examination. Cards are still not actually all the same size, just a lot closer than the old days. Adding slab tolerances on top of card tolerances, I would not expect every card to sit perfectly. Surely some/much of it is microtrimming, which is pretty easy to do, but even in a perfect world without our fraudsters around they still would not all be sitting perfect.
