My guess (which I am pretty certain will be wrong  ) is that the graders would accept it as just part of the card, especially since it doesn't jump out at you. Of course, they may recognize it and lower the grade due to less eye appealment (yes, I just coined that phrase).

Here you go. Mine would not grade this high based on corners and edges, but clearly it doesn't bother them. The PSA Auction Prices Realized site also has multiple with the print line in PSA 5's and 6's, and one that had it in an ancient 8 (OC) holder. Who knows:
