Opinions of what to do

If you have questions about it you aren't going to ever be happy with it. Return it.

Collecting is about enjoying your cards. Return it and move on..

To me it just looks like a transfer of some sort. Like the wet sheet transferred lines around the border. Beautiful card regardless. It wouldn't bother me at all, but like the last two guys said, if it's going to bother you, probably best to return it.

It would be hard to rebuild a corner and add the wet sheet transfer as well.

Could it be that the corner has been scuffed to the point that some of the top surface layers of paper were rubbed off?

I'm no expert nor am I familiar with these cards, just throwing out some food for thought or what I see in your scans.

I would be pretty surprised if there was anything going on with that card. Boston Store/Collins-McCarthy cards are very thin cards and have a glossy surface on front. I wonder if there is just some wear or abrasion to the glossy surface that gives the appearance of something more.

The SGC holder doesn't help the image. If you look at the bottom left corner you can also see how the cut out corner of the holder makes it look like the card's corner is bigger or something "askew."

I am fairly sure the card was damaged in the ordinary course of its 100 year life, but like BigFanNY said, if you don't like the card send it back or resell it. I, too, get fixated on blemishes sometimes that make me hate the card. No reason to keep those and try to convince yourself you're over-reacting.

No visible hint of a repair on the back side....Im guessing this one is graded correctly and SGC would confirm their opinion on it. Having said that - Wow tuff set...eBay shows a grand total of 37 of these and NONE are inexpensive. Never even new these existed until today.
