I've talked about the differences between the new card and my three original W517's. However, I haven't talked about the differences between my new card and one of Spigler's reprints that I have. These two cards are not identical either. In the background of Spigler's reprint, I can see all the colors that Gil talked about above (blue, red, yellow). In the tan border's of Spigler's reprint, the dots form hexagonal shapes made up of red, green, yellow, etc. In the new card that I have, the dots in the tan border are tan and do not make up hexagonal shapes. The backs are different, of course, as the back of the reprint is white and the back of my new card is gray. The cards are similar in that the white areas on the cards are comprised of dots making up hexagonal shapes.
I wish I could take a picture at 20x to show you what I'm talking about.
