This could be a reprint that some unsophisticated person best up to make it look more “authentic”.

I don't think it's an authentic reprint. It is a fake reprint. And "Overall" it's still a yucky looking card.

I didn't get many of those as a kid. Only one store in town had them, and it was pretty far from my neighborhood.

I did pick up one or two at school, but they all had that sort of damage. They just didn't fit well in most kids pockets.
