Default W560 Walter Johnson - reprint?

Hoping someone can help me here. I just picked up this card locally, for cheap (non-basbeball card dealer), and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on how to tell if it's a reprint or not. I have read other places that the reprints say "REPRINT" on the back, and that it can be erased, but leaves a smudge, or rubbed area. There is no evidence of either of those situations here.

Looks authentic to me. Hopefully others will chime in also.

I believe the back should be a grey color if original

I've owned a couple of those, which doesn't make me an expert...but I've never seen a pink one in any search.

That's kind of what I was figuring. It just confirmed my gut feeling as well. But hey, for a $1, I had to take a chance.

Thanks everyone, I'll file this in my "curiosity" box.

This color tint definitely exists. Here's one I own that is similar with the corresponding back scan.
