A decent chunk of my collection has rounded corners, like these two E90-1 cards I do agree with Ben that it is the Near Minty cards with evenly rounded corners that raises eyebrows.

Virtually all of my pre-war has rounded corners to varying degrees. Also creases, thumb tack holes, tape residue, paper loss, trimming, scrapes and scratches. But I do have a few that don't suffer from all of that. I would put it at 90 percent do, 10 percent don't.

The direct answer to the round corner question is that kids who collected those cards long ago played simple games with them. One of the main games involved tossing a card in the card so that the corners spun around and landed randomly on the pavement or whatever hard surface was there. That is the primary reason why so many vintage cards have rounded corners.
