A lot of corners that have been pressed out, on vintage anyhow, are pretty obvious if you look at the edges, for exactly the reason you described, the thickness just disappears. I remember returning a PSA 8 US Caramel Ruth back in the day that had just this appearance. The seller (who turned out to be a major doctor) told me it was from being stored in a screwdown. It's not always easy to get a good look at edges, of course, in a holder.
