I ran across #27 - Willie Mays Makes Greatest Catch - in a box of old cards. I was going to list it for sale/trade, but then I did some research on eBay. Apparently this set was reprinted. How do I tell if mine is original or reprinted. It looks exactly like the card pictured on the TCDB. Even the coloring on the back is the same. How do I know if mine is an original or a reprint? Thanks in advance.

show us a scan or picture of it. Reprints from major companies will say reprint, or something similar, on them.

Thanks for the information, even though I didn't post the OP. I have looked at these before but never considered the possibility that they'd be reprinted. It bugs me, though, even if they are legit, that "reprint" is not found anywhere on the card.

From CAD's link, did anyone read the question on the 4th card in the group that starts with DiMaggio?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Thanks for all the information. Looking at the backs of the scans in the data base, I'm going to assume mine is a reprint. Ironically, though, the back scanned for #27 looks exactly like my back, but the other cards are obviously aged. Back in the box it goes! Thanks again.
