JoannRC,
The Galasso (sp?) reprints had text identifying them as reprints in between "Goudey Gum Co." and "Boston" on the back of these cards. Often reprints are marred or stained in this exact area to hide the fact that it's a reprint. Scan below is a reprint, and you can see the tiny words in this spot - they say "Renato Galasso reprint" or something like that. Some reprints also had the word "Reprint" as the very last line, under "Indian Gum".
If you look at the seller's closed auction, check out the ended auction for the 33 Goudey Swanson. In this one, the marring between "Gum Co.' and "Boston" is pretty obvious.

Top is with reprint text between Co and Boston, middle is with reprint noted at bottom of card. Bottom card is back of genuine card.
Edited so description of cards matched layout of scans.
