I suggest you put some black light on it. If it shines, it is a reprint.

If it doesn't, it still may be a card someone has printed the F&B back on what used to me blank.

I bought a black light from a fellow on this board a few months ago. First one I got didn't work, and he kindly and promptly replaced it. I finally got good use out of it a couple of weeks ago. I'd bought a 1949 Remar Bread card that looked odd to me. When I put it with my others, it was the right size, a bit worn, it looked ok, but the back was in black ink. Black light quickly exposed the reprint. It flouresced, all of the other Remars stayed dark. It was a good fake, but a fake nonetheless.

Don't you reckon that folks with that much talent, energy, and time could really make some big bucks at an honest vocation, if properly redirected...

Get a black light.

Frank.
