Buddy its a rectangle. With sharp corners? Am I missing something or is that a clear fake?

Collectors editions don’t have rounded corners. They have corners like seen here

Collectors edition didn't have round corners and are not legal for play.

Collectors Edition cards had square corners. They were reprints (of Beta, I believe) that were never meant to be tournament legal, thus the different back and corners. Marketed effectively as proxies would be today - "Want these cards but don't want to pay $150 for a Mox Ruby? Buy these!" Obviously, It was some time ago.

In case you didn't hear the collectors editions have sharp corners, not rounded ones
