There is a scan of the back on page one. Nothing is standing out to me indicating that it was adhered to anything but then again I'm not the most advanced collector. The thing with with this card is that it does have the light pinkish primer coat on it where the red was mean't to be put. I'd think that if the red was missing due to fading that the pink coat would have also faded.
