Picked this up today for what I think was a good price. I honestly don’t have enough experience with Parkhurst so I’d like to make sure it’s not a reprint. Looking for Irv, Camaro, or any others to weigh in. Yeah, the back is a mess but I’m not looking at that

Anthony, I'm certainly not a Parkhurst expert either, (nor am I with any others) but it looks good to me.
I tried to find a/some reprint(s) on eBay of your card but came up empty. Not conclusive, of course, but a good sign, imo anyways, that maybe that particular card was never reprinted?
Congrats on the pick up.
Enjoy.

Looks 100% OK to me.One of the quickest and easiest ways to tell.Is that most of the reprints are actually the size of modern cards.
While the Parkhurst cards are actually a bit higher then the new stuff.These Parkhurst sets were 2-1/2 X 3-5/8 while modern
cards are 2-1/2 X 3-1/2.Also most all the reprints are much thinner stock.It looks like a few layers to the cardboard when you
look at the paper loss on the back.This indicates a much thicker stock them modern cards. Take care and happy collecting.

Thank you both for the quick replies. I’m pretty well versed on the 60s and 70s but the 50s are a different animal for me. Glad I made the pickup at the price. Also got a couple of “modern” oddball cards that I’ll post today.

That will be great. I really like oddball stuff.I like it because in some cases what was released in BC may not have been released here in Nova Scotia
Or if it was released it may have different players or pictures on the cards. Looking forward to what you have.Take care and happy collecting.
