One more thing that I wanted to point out -- see the crease on the front of the card that runs horizontally through Walsh's chest? It's noticeable on the front because of the dark jersey, but you can't see it in the photos of the back...but the crease DOES go through to the back.
This isn't proof that the card wasn't rebacked or otherwise altered, I would doubt that someone would meticulously construct a card and then put the "authentic finishing touch" of creasing it in the middle. If anything, this would potentially expose any rebacking.
Again, it's not proof, but I do think that the crease lends credence to the other wear and tear (ie rounded corners) on the card.
