There are only 1 kind of Good T3 reprints, the Mike Wheat ones from a few years back. They are full size reprints and If I remember right the back all have the checklist back and the only real difference in design was that he added clef designs in the corners of the back (they can be scuffed off though)
All of the other reprints are modern card size 2.5" by 3.5" |

I'd say card is legit, nice pick up! Strange wear on top is consistent with others I have seen. Just have to look closely and see if it was pencil or other marks that have been erased or altered. You cant go wrong with a nice Hof'er

Thanks for all the comments! I was thinking I'd eventually pay that price for a worn T3 non-HoFer so to come across this was pretty exciting for me. Maybe I overpaid a little for the condition, but I'm very happy. I was a bit worried about authenticity so it's nice to hear so many say they believe it's authentic. I pmed Leon about it and got his opinion on authenticity just after I'd hit the BIN. I always feel bad bugging people doing that, but I really appreciate all the knowledgeable collectors on this site. It's really made my leap into vintage a fun and successful start. If there was an easy way to do it, I'd sell 99% of my modern stuff and spend more on vintage. That's just about all I buy now anyway

Authentic cards have a "orange peel" like texture to the surface.... the surface wear on this card shows this quite well.
