I don’t see the point in measuring. There are plenty of oversized cards that are trimmed down to normal standards and plenty of undersized cards that are not altered. Even an oversized card could be recolored or pressed.
You’re just replacing one flawed evaluation with another.
What would you do with a card that measured small in the holder anyway - the seller has no responsibility to accept a return of a graded card.
I would instead consider the provenance/history of the item, who is selling it, and compare with other examples from the set.
