How to know if an unsigned card is a reprint?

[Case12]

Player is Ed Olivares. #598 highest 62 card. Rookie Parade. Still interested in an answer, but......

If someone wants to sell me one for a few bucks, please let me know and I won't worry about the reprint question. Any condition - not run through washer/dryer.

Please pm me asap. Casey

Like I said earlier, I don’t think a reprint of this exists. The 1962 set hadn’t ever been reprinted in full, only reprints of some super stars (and complete frauds posing as the real thing for the same). You’d have to make your own or pay the $30 for a real one.

I don't have a 62 Olivares or I'd send you one. Here are a few auctions going on, on eBay right now.

I noticed Olivares only had 35 MLB AB's. He never played for the Colt 45's as far as I know. Houston was the minor league affiliate for the Cards for many years before my time. I'm guessing he's a neighbor or family friend who may have not been asked for his autograph in 50 years.

You're not an autograph collector, I take it.

Practically every player, no matter how brief his MLB career, still gets asked for his autograph via mail requests at least a few times a month, if not much, much more. The only ones who don't are those that collectors can't seem to manage to track down valid addresses for.

Thank you. I mailed my original yesterday. It should come back as I have someone hand delivering it. If not, I'll grab one like these.

These floating head cards can be a bit difficult for autographs. Especially if more than one signed, or one has died. The Dick Farrell/ Sandy Koufax/ bob Gibson one #9 strikeout leaders is example.

I'm only interested in the Dick Farrell auto. He's hard to find anyway.
