Topps cards from the 50s will vary slightly in size from time to time. The equipment used to produce these cards were not hyper-accurate. Additionally, Topps quality control was not concerned about a card being one millimeter short in 1958. Even 20 years later, they wouldn't have been concerned with a variance that small.

Long story short (no pun intended) - you can't detect trimming on '58 Topps with a ruler alone.
