I know its useless, but here are some photos....

Notice the "P" and "G" in caption is slightly larger than the "ittsbur" on the authentic card, also the ink color of the caption is more of a grey color and not black like on the reprints. Also notice the distance between the "R" and "P" in "Wagner, Pittsburg" is far wider on the authentic card. Also notice the black line is missing from around the photo, and the "G" on in uniform is touching the border on the reprint.

It doesnt get any easier than that, a 5 year old can tell the difference if he knows where to look.......

Its an obvious reprint front with (maybe) an authentic back.

I guess we'll see it again next year, and the next and the next. This reprint wont go away.....
