Have Collins McCarthy or Boston Store cards been reprinted?

[ctownboy]

Hello all,

I searched through the archives to look for an answer to this question but did not find any info.

So my questions are as follows;

1) Have the Collins - McCarthy and Boston Store cards been reprinted?

2) Other than saying "REPRINT" on them, how can you tell originals from fakes (if there are any fakes?)

I have never owned or even seen any of these cards in person (yes, I have lived a sheltered card collecting life) so I do not know what real ones look like or, even better, what they feel like.

Thanks in advance for your help,

David
