Default 1950's Rawlings Store Ads ??

Thanks John, that's encouraging. Is there anything about the reprints that make them easy to distinguish from the real thing?

When I received these, I was happy to see that the wording is in very heavy black -- really solid. There are dot patterns elsewhere on the ad (which I suppose is typical), but the words are very solid. If it was a modern reprint, I think the words would show a dot matrix pattern on close inspection, but that's just a guess.

Also, the toning is very, very slight, and even. Definitely not the typical overdone aging you see on many faked items.
