I know these cards have been discussed here numerous times and I have searched all the posts that talk about the reprints. Unfortunatly there was one post that had many pics on it but I assume the post is so old all it shows is red x's now.
I have looked at Ebay and compared the cards that have been graded by PSA against the sheet I have. Everything I see makes me feel this sheet might be an original.

It is printed on smooth feeling off white card stock that is layering at the corners. It appears that the paper this sheet is made from might actually have different color paper between the 2 printed sides. (As seen from the corner layers.) I have compared all I can but I was hoping for some insights from the experts. I have always thought this sheet was a reprint so if some feel it is I will not be upset. But the more I look at it I feel it might have a shot.

I have collected pre war cards in the past and I feel I do know the card stock from this time frame and I feel that this sheet has the feel of that card stock.

I have scanned on portion of the sheet front and back and was hoping someone could offer a opinion.





Any Opinions???

Edited to say sorry for the huge scans. I didnt realize they would come out so big. I can also provide other scans if the need is there. just let me know. Thanks again everyone. I appreciate any insight!

The print dots throughout the white field on the front are dead giveaways. Also, look at the lack of gradations of tone especially where there is a lot of dark color (compare the left foot on yours to the left foot on this real one:

Is it me or is Ruth's cap not a Yankee cap? Also noticed it does not say Yankees on the cards...never noticed that before. Guess Yanks did not want to endorse Fro-Joy...wonder what they were selling in the stadium instead?
