My initial thought was also that it was a fake, because the corners are too uniformly round, and appear to be deliberately shaped. The degree of corner wear also doesn't match the degree of edge wear, which is significantly less.

However, it also now looks to me like all of the edges are trimmed. If it began as a "jumbo" card and someone cut down the sides and shaped the corners (for what purpose, I dunno), then that would explain the inconsistent corner-to-edge wear. The print/litho also looked good to me, at least from what I could tell on the computer screen, so then I started having second thoughts...

My best guess is that it's a hand-cut fake, because that just seems to make more sense than it being real. But looking under magnification would make a big difference.

ETA: I see the point about the bad litho now that I've compared it to others. I thought it was maybe a lack of crispness in the scan.
