The spots to look at is the pinky finger on left border, Some reprints have the finger cropped more. Also look at the distance between the "G" in "George" and the border. Also look at the shadow under the hat and the eye sockets, on most reprint this area will be dark and gives Mr. Ruth a racoon look. Also compare the green ink on back, it should be the exact same color and sometime there is a slight hint of wet sheet overprint on the back from the sheet above it (the light red strip at bottom is most easily seen)

Spots to look at are the top of the bat extending into the border, the distance between the second "G" in "Gehrig" and the border, the distance between the top of the hat and the border, etc. On back the very light wet sheet overprint at bottom (red strip).
