I do not think it was in a scrap book. Where is the glue residue ? There is none. Normally there would be some staining evident on a scrap book removal. Also what has me worried is the shape in Which the paperloss takes on the back. A wide circle almost exactly where the advertisement would normally appear. I only see smoothness on the corners. It looks to me like the middle was skinned.

What I find interesting is the mark to the right of his head when you zoom in. This is the first time I have seen what looks to be the same mark that appears in the card below on another red Cobb.

The scan is not nearly good enough to make the determination you are making. I see much more smoothness than you outline and any of the brownish elements could be glue residue. But I don't want to debate any longer since we're debating on a very blurry scan. To my eye there are 3 or 4 brown splotches which is typical to how people glued cards in scrapbooks. The scuffed areas are next to those splotches.

I also think I see the face of Jesus. Let's debate that as well.

I dunno, it looks more like Matty or maybe Felipe to me

Not skinned? Did anyone else look at it while it was popped? Or just the grading service that would look like idiots if they were wrong to begin with?

My vote is skinned, sorry

Way too much texture on the back
