Frank WakefieldThat CJ card of Downey is a reprint. Definitely, for reasons stated above.
And amen for holding them in your hand. 1914s are on paper. 1915s are on thicker paper, but very thin by later standards. You can feel the difference between the two, forget about which side is up on the back. But it is difficult to feel the difference if the card is in some no name slab. I've bought raw CJs on eBay, but it is precarious at best. Even PSA can get them right, but they get to hold the card before they slab it.
