1933 Tattoo Orbit - real vs reprint
 
Is there a way to tell a real card from a reprint other than the Dover phrase on the back? I assume it would be easy to remove that via eraser. I've been looking at online photos of the two cards and I can't see a difference with the fronts. Is there a difference in feel or tells in the printing?

Assuming you are talking R305 and not R308, the best way I know is to have handled a lot of them. :) They will have the right patina, cardstock and lithography as is warranted for the series and period. I definitely go by "feel" as one of my checks on a card too. Does it "feel" real, or.....memorex...:confused:
