I just picked up Vol 1 #1 Of the Sporting News dated March 17, 1886!

However, I understand there was a reprint done in the 1930's.

Is there any way to tell the difference between the two?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers!

The overall wear, toning and staining are in line with that timeframe. It’s original.

If you’re ever curious/in doubt, look at the lettering under magnification. It should be solid printing with no dot patterns.
