I have the opportunity to acquire this card.
How common are reprints of the Gibson rookie?

Can any vintage experts weigh in with their thoughts?

    That pic gives the appearance of dot printing...if a true representation of the card, obviously a fake.

    That looks like real denim.

    I would just buy a graded copy, that way you'll know for sure.

    I would pass. From the picture it doesn't look good

    Tough to judge. But the back does give me a bit of concern. I would pass is what my gut says. Not having it in hand of course. But I would pass. Hard to tell in the big plastic but seems to white and bright to me

    Picture of the front looks like a dot matrix but it could be just the photo.

    Even if it's real, that screw-down may be ruining those corners. Pass, my friend.
