Do all authentic cards from that set have black printing on the back only? Seems to be many reprints of that set and I saw green print on the back of a Gehrig that look suspicious but no "Reprint" printed on it. Thanks. Doug

    Known R333 reprints are very easy to spot. The backs print will usually be less crisp and have a blue-green tint and a scuff where the word reprint was scratched off, but the easiest way is the front will have a white border about 3-4X too wide because the picture area was cropped when they designed the reprints.

    PS. Toughest of all fakes (any card/any set) is a homemade fake...... usually made on an inkjet printer (front and back then glued together), designed from a scan of an authentic card.
