1962 Aaron reprint card with original back

Can anyone explain this to me? I don't get it.

I'm not sure what the seller is actually meaning? Possibly he took the back of an original and affixed it to the reprint? It reminds me of an experience I had with something similar.

I once purchased a 94 Pro Line auto card of Brett Favre. One day I was looking at the card and noticed the surface was rough and kinda bubbly. Once I looked closer I noticed the edges didn't look right as well. Turns out the seller took a base (non auto card), forged Favre's sig and glued the back of an auto card unto it.

Maybe some reprints say "reprint" on the back (or are different in another way), so he is saying that his looks just like a real Topps card.

Back in the '80's, I glued a 1958 Topps Mantle photo from Baseball Cards magazine to Fleer Kirby Puckett card. Still have that creation

Well my curiosity got the best of me and I emailed the seller. Here is the response:

"Short and sweet...some reprint cards do not have the same appearing back as the original card. This card has all original features of the original card except the cardboard feel...it has more of a slick feel...no it is not glued or anything.....a very nice reproduction"

So, basically, it's a reprint with nothing original about it.
