Dr.Koos...."anatomically incorrect" even for a reprint! First off, the card HAS thickness to it. You can clearly see this from blowing up the relatively clear scan and applying the "negative" photoshop option. MOST reprints are matchbook cover type thin, one or two plys of paper at the most. THIS card is obviously as thick as one of the matches INSIDE the matchbook. It is of MULTIPLE (many) plys, like a normal '34 Goudey. The few early reprints issued that ARE thick, DO NOT have this latter day print press/plate "honeycomb" pattern on the front more indicative of Dover and other post 1977 reprints.
Secondly, with such a noticeable printing matrix on the front that permeates EVERY COLOR on the area confined to the portraiture of the card (INCLUDING the whites), WHY doesn't the pattern continue over the white borders??? Why does the pattern of the portraiture seem to trail off UNDER the surface of the white borders???
In my estimate, the card is SPLICED! It's a genuine back (or an EARLY reprint back), with a post-1977 reprint front glued on, with painted borders (airbrush)!!!
Look at auction #1856312072. In the artwork to the left, the line directly over Lou's head at the bottom EXTENDS past and OVER the border. On THIS reprint, the line became covered by the painted borders.
