Eric EichelkrautThis is a tough call. My first thought would be no, simply because of the sellers reputation. In a close call like this, the best thing to do is ask the seller if they will guarantee authenticity, and offer a refund if the buyer believes it to be a reprint.
Aside from the sellers feedback (which doesn't always guarantee things), if the card was a reprint it's one that was produced in the 1960's. These are nearly impossible to spot, even in a high quality scan like this. The corner wear does look suspect with its even wear, and that is a common trait among the 60's Goudey reprints. The image also appears to be a bit too vivid, but there's an extremely fine line between 60's repro's and real Goudeys.
The defining factor here would be the stock of the card. Although you're not going to be able to look at this, it would definately tell you if the card was real or reprint. The 60's Goudey reprints were produced with a slightly thinner, and darker stock than the original Goudeys.
