99% chance it was removed, worked on, and replaced. All of the creases are far less severe, with the exception of the heavy diagonal crease, which remains identical (upper-right). Since the surface paper "broke", there wasn't much that they could do to repair/hide it.
So what's the telltale sign that it was removed and replaced? The card resides in a "baggie" within the slab. These "baggied" cards don't move around in the slab, even when vigorously shaken.
Now look at the positioning of the card within the slab. The card has moved significantly. It now sits much further to the right, and the slant has also changed. It had to have been cracked, worked on, and replaced without much tell-tale damage to the plastic. Perhaps the work would be more evident when examined in-person, vs. a flat computer screen.
In any event, I would shy away from this one.
