The card was offered as is, I had purchased some 69 football cards and asked the seller if they had any other old cards. Seller did not know if it was a reprint, I did not know, so I asked here. I have read a little here and made my guess that it was a reprint based on being too glossy. Now the card is a reprint (based on people here) and my question is now is it worth getting as a reprint to help me judge real from fake cards? Did people here unintentionally buy fakes and did that helped them be a better judge of real cards? I have read a lot of the threads here about how to authenticate cards but would be uncomfortable buying a high value card at this point unless it is graded and even then I am not real sure (value wise). We all know that you can get great deals if you can spot an undervalued upgraded card and that is part of the fun of collecting. So at this point I will just keep buying commons and get a better feel for the cards. Thanks to all who answered.
