Default My new Lajoie - any thoughts on alteration? (F/B scans included)

Posted By: PC

The corners are rounded, but not evenly frayed. I think this "clipped corner" appearance can be explained by the corners being dinged -- as if someone tapped the card on each corner on a hard surface (desk or table) while (mis)handling it. You can see evidence of that on the back scan, in the darker areas where it looks like the corners are pushed in and over.

There even appears to be a small crease/bend in some of the corners (the two bottom corners show this pretty clearly), immediately behind the flat areas, which would indicate that the card took a hit or two on the corners.

Admittedly, this kind of wear is a little unusual, but the card looks unaltered to me.
