Well, the corners look rounded but not worn? And as mentioned the back just looks stamped and not printed. Soon I will probably be showing a card that has fooled a TPG while another one got it right, with the same scenario except it's a card. Some of these cards are very difficult to tell if good or not and I don't blame TPGs for being careful on them. If it is a true albumen photo then it's probably ok as I am not aware of any fake albumen photos out there (there probably are I just haven't seen them). So, if under a microscope you can pick out the little hairs in the albumen it should be fine. Study the photo and that will lead to the answer, imo. I think the long story before was probably accurate and I would be skeptical. And we know Frank W sold some things that were questionable before. I would look closely at the patina and the feel of the card too.
