If it happened over time, the card would have the same discolored look where the tear happened.
By the way, I've seen multiple Merkle Hindus. The background color always appears more orange than red, probably due to some printing error. It seems to have affected many Hindu cards: they seem to come out with the same orange tint. We had a thread about them a couple years ago. If I find it, I'll PM you.

Thank you gentlemen. After taking a closer look, the tears do appear to be too intentional and look whiter than teeth. I appreciate the guidance - saved myself a couple ten bucks!
