Is it a reprint?
I have been collecting and selling vintage cards over the past 10 years. Every so often a card passes thru my hands that turns out to be a reprint. Many times, I can detect that its a reprint but there are those few that get by and end up on my eBay site. Last night, I heard from 2 of my customers that pointed out I had a reprint up for sale. Without questioning them, I pulled the card and decided to see for myself. I took a closer look and was able to see the difference between the reprint card and the real thing.
I think that it would be a nice idea, if some of you experts could post pictures of reprints versus the real thing. Also, a brief description of the differences. It would be nice to have a good reference with visual examples. Pictures always give a better idea what to look for.
I'll start it off with the card that gave me problems last night.
The Peckinbaugh card was the reprint. From what I can tell, the borders on the reprint have a bigger gap between the picture and the border.
Any more info would be appreciated.
