Seller just added another fake, this time a '52 Jackie. Same corner job, fake staining etc. Adding to Elms new term I would call them "sharp rounded corners" almost like a playing card. I would also challenge any collector on the board to take a worthless or beat up common from the 50s/60s or even the 80s and try to replicate that perfectly round corner wear, it is not possible on a real card that has thin stock. Especially without damaging the card in other ways. This is best viewable by looking at the corners from the back, they have essentially zero damage but are perfectly round.

These fakes are on a heavy 2-3x thicker stock that is abnormally stiff from whatever their mad scientist process is. Allowing use of some kind of tool that can round the corners and not crease/damage the rest of the card. Almost like a piece of very thin wood.
