Here's some info on Akro's version of Aces:

Most people don't think to check their white based corkscrews to see if there is any glow inside. And sometimes the Ace is so dense that you won't see the glow even with a strong light, so often Aces are missed. If you can't detect the glow maybe it shouldn't count as special, but it still does to me if I think it's from an actual Ace run.
