Trimmed does not mean small. Even today, if you take a stack of 2022 Topps cards, and look very, very closely one will see they are not the same sizes. It was even more true in the 1950's, there are tons of trimmed cards that don't measure short. As the slab positions the bottom for us, to my eyes, the top does not seem to slant quite as one would expect with the bottom the card has.
