t206 "Wear" question

Does anyone have any theories as to how a 97-year old card could have such sharp corners at the top, and be so worn at the bottom? Thanks

Hi Scott,
I've got to agree with David, the top border looks a little wavy ( like the potatoe chips) across the top. Of course the pink background(light blue works better) is a little tough on my eyes, so I can't be sure. I can say that I've handled thousands of T206's and don't remember seeing one with this kind of uneven wear.
Be well Brian

Cards don't wear differently on the top in relation to the bottom.......regards all
