Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>There seems to be some rubbing between the Goudey Gum Co. and Boston on the back. Did the word reprint get rubbed off here? I've had the card for about 20 years.<br /><br /><img src="http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n304/egbeachley/DizzDean.jpg">

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The Renatta Galasso reprints have a back that is a darker green.... plus yours has all the normal wear signs, card stock, and print characteristics of an authentic R320 card.

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>hold it up to a 100 watt light bulb if it blocks the light it's real,if light penetrates it,fake....but i agree with the above post,it looks authentic just by the scan.

Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p> Perhaps the registration is off, but this Dean appears extra dark and fuzzy and his name and back grafic looks too heavy. <br /><br /> Do the lightbulb test as suggested. Also, if you have access to a blacklight, check for glow... That strategic worn area on the back as mentioned, raises an eyebrow. <br /><br />
