How to tell if a 1954 card is original or reprint

Here is the first in a series of images. Don't worry about the player depicted or the condition of this particular example. Aaron, Banks, other stars, minor stars, and all the commons were created using the same printing methods.

Here's a closer view from the upper left portion of the card front. Take note of the, "p" and the blue cap along the right hand side.

Here is another image of the same portion. Note how the blue cap has been printed using a different process, as compared to the, "p.".
