Good idea. I have never held one of the Hortons, so not sure, but I would think that the quality of the photo reprints wouldn't be as good. Given that the quality in the originals isn't so great, I wouldn't want to have to deal with even fuzzier. But they are cheap enough that I probably should buy one, just to see.

I do have the Players League reprint, and I used to have an original - the quality in the reprint is great, but it might be a different publisher.
