Mantle exhibit - real or reprint?

MANTLE EXHIBIT: Authentic or Reprint?

Hoping to get some help to identify this Mantle exhibit - I’ve had it forever (as in, late 80’s) but I don’t know the origin or how to tell if it’s an original or reprint of the exhibit cards

I see them ocassionally sold here so hoping some experienced exhibit seller/collectors can help me identify this card

Thanks for taking a look - Jeff Gross

Reprint. I bought one just like it on ebay and returned it.
An authentic one wouldn't have a white back like that.

It’s not actually white, it’s more cream actually… see updated image here with the card placed on white paper

Still think it’s a reprint?

Ok, that changes everything. Probably not a reprint then?

looks alright to me being cream colored. stay away from the grayish back as far as i remember.

I've never owned an Exhibit...held a few...I really like them. If it is real (no idea) it certainly is trimmed. The original isn't cropped through the hat like that...
