I would compare the size of the white borders to a known 57 Topps. On the reprints the borders may be wider. The real Brooks card should be off center... most are .... and have numerous print dots and a few fish eyes. Watch out for artificially rounded corners on a reprint. If all four corners are rounded evenly that’s a red flag. A loupe is a good investment. Try comparing a real know 57 to the card in question.
I have a real rookie card of Brooks that has all four borders removed if interested.
