1) The Kelly has seemed to slip through at SGC as they said that wasn't normal at the time and was done prior to SGC saying they would start doing it, and when they are doing it from here on it will be designated as such.
2)It isn't only Old Judges that will get encapsulated from the SGC email "we will restrict the new policy to N172’s and similar issues with blank cardboard backs" so it sounds like they just don't want people taking a DRUM back and putting it on a non DRUM player in t206 sets and it getting encapsulated, but in cases where the backing won't be used to add rarity value. There is no reason a Old Judge rebacking shouldn't be treated similar to trimming. They both could have been used to make the card look better, but they could have also been used for other reasons (trimming to fit in a binder page, rebacking to stabilize the back of a picture that lost its backing).
