Doesn't anybody here know how to play this game?
 

I know they mostly sell postwar, but Jeez, this is Kit Young!! (I have written to them about it.) (The card is a reprint.)

I assume you referring to the card being a reprint?

Sorry, I thought that would be clear from the context.

Pardon my ignorance in this case, but how can you tell thats a reprint from that photo? Thanks.

Wide white inner border all the way around the photo. The mass produced reprints of this issue all have this hallmark sign. Just compare this to any normal M101-4 or M101-5 card and the difference is fairly obvious.

Thanks Rhett.

And the other red flags, like the tea staining to make the card look old. :mad:

The "Detecting Card Alterations and Reprints" section (the icon is on the upper right of the page) illustrates the narrow (real) versus wider (fake) margin very well.

Very interesting. Thanks.
