Easily seen as a reprint! Real Cracker Jack cards have no gloss, and are made of a thin construction paper with a rough texture. On real cards, there is no ink for the light parts of the uniform, only the natural paper color. If the Baker was real, the uniform and border would be exact same color and blend together. Also I believe the seller said they were 1914's, he is wrong. The "176 picture series" (E145-2) is 1915, and the backs of all real 1915 cards are printed upside down. In other words the top of the front is the same edge as the bottom of the back. I have never seen a reprint yet with the back printed the right (upside down) way. Frank
