Leaf stock is pretty thick, but color can bleed through. Often, it is not actually ink bleeding through but ink from the sheet beneath it, from sheets being stacked before they were fully dry.

On this exact card, it is residue from the adhesive from when the card was in a scrapbook or similar. The spots of paper loss on the back, the colored marks, and the high grade front all indicate a card liberated from a scrapbook.
