I'm sorry, but this is a reprint. It exhibits the exact same surface wear patterns on the "aged reprints" floating around. For example:





Note the front crease locations, spots, and the scuff to the right of the "H" in Ruth, along with the fading on the word "Gum" at the bottom back left.

These images are from an Etsy listing. We can revisit the whole issue of people "antiquing" their reprints, but I'd rather not. It just stinks. (And the idea of that card exhibiting four sharp corners should give anyone pause.)
