There are a few repo DJs of this book floating around out there, I hope yours is an original.

Yes, it is very much original. The repros are pretty easy to tell in hand. I have one repro that I bought for a copy of the Milwaukee Braves. Its the only one of my Putnum Series with a repro DJ.

Here are some pics showing a facsimile dust jacket and an original DJ side by side. The facsimile looks more clean or like new. There is no attempt to deceive here as the company that made the facsimile has the company name in the inner sleeve ( Facsimile Dust Jackets LLC.). The Braves book is signed by Spahn; Danny OConnell; Charlie Grimm; Johnny Logan; Lew Burdette and the Milwaukee author Russ Lynch so buying a facsimile DJ as opposed to buying another $100 plus book copy just for the DJ made more sense.
