Default Well, I either self-immolated or got my Wagner

it's not real - probably a forgery rather than a reprint:

1. creases on back pop out in the middle (seller added creases before glue holding layers together was dry).
2. corners clipped without an attempt even to add wear (upper right is almost straight clip)

I learn this stuff from making my own reprints - it's not as easy as you might think.

Also, the fuzzy scan and private feedback - seller hasn't used private feedback in the past. These old flea market booth operators every now and then try something like this to supplement what was previously an honest living. I guess they figure that if you can't tell the difference once you get it, that it really doesn't matter and you had too much money in your pocket anyway.
