Default Is Jackson for real?

Posted By: John Wojak

Dan - When these cards were reprinted, the black border line around the outer edge was printed thicker than on the originals, and the white space between the black border line and the photo was made wider. More importantly, the photo image was slightly enlarged, resulting in a slight loss of image around the edges of the photo. If you look at an original, there is more space between Jax's hands and the left border than on the reprints (e.g. this card), and there is space between his right foot and the bottom border on the real cards while his right foot touches the bottom border in the reprints. A dead giveaway. Compare the card you flagged to these two originals on ebay right now:

The differences are obvious once you know what to look for.
