Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>a back scan would tell more than a front scan. The reprints of these cards usually lack the detail on back, especially in-and-around the picture of the loaf of bread.<br />-Rhett

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>Ryan, they don't look good to me, but it is also tough to say w/ absolute certainty with only a digital camera image. I pulled the following photo from a random 1947 Tip-Top ebay auction to show what a legit back looks like. Notice the difference in clarity of the details within the "Loaf of Bread" compared to yours, where the loaf looks like a big black log.<br />-Rhett<br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1217798555.JPG">

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>The detail of the Loaf doesnt look good, especially the shadow area at bottom. It looks like a Fritsch reprint.

Posted By: <b>shane leonard</b><p>Ryan<br />the card you have is a reprint. You can't tell by the back only by the front of the card. I have three 1947 Tip Top bread sets and it is very easy for me to tell the difference between the two. The fakes have a different font for the name and team names. I have seen PSA grade some of the fakes and they can be found on the eBay store. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Shane
