Shelaquing both fakes and and genuine cards is uncommon. I have heard of a case or two of altered cards (common to rare variation) that were shelaqued. This was to help cover the alterations on the front of the card. The buyer didn't detect the alterations himself, but noticed right away that the card was shinnier than his other cards from the issue so had others look at it.
