If the cards came in a box from Red Heart, I wouldn't throw it away. Collectors love stuff like that. From what I recall, you could still buy sets from Red Heart into the early 1970s, which might explain why so many you find are in nice shape. I also remember the cards with blue backgrounds were very easy to find in the mid-1970s, and the ones with the red backgrounds were quite tough. If you post some photos, it shouldn't be too hard to tell if they are real. Some reprints are stamped with "reprint" on the back, while others aren't. From what I recall, the colors are more muted on the reprints, and the borders are wider and whiter.
