Here is an excerpt from an email Kevin S sent yesterday, posted with his permission:

"There is no way to tell if the corner has been rebuilt from that scan...
I do find it odd that the entire card is toned with exception of the bottom edge. If anything it looks more trimmed or sanded but that could just be the scan. Then again...when a corner has been rebuilt, two sides and both surfaces usually need to be reshaped for it to blend. Think of it like patching a wall or a corner with spackle...the work extends beyond the initial area. A pro card doctor would then rework or finish the areas to cover up the obvious, kinda' like painting and texturing that newly spackled wall."
