Applewood Books, 1991, produced reprints of R89 (#1-96) via a soft box issue and produced reprints of R89/R90 (#1-96 & fifteen 97-120) via a hard cover box issue. A collector would have a hard time determining if a card is real or a reprint when viewing it alone. Richard Lapointe scanned an original card alongside a reprint to show the subtle differences. Richard also commented on the reprints. The following statement mirrors Richard's post at the Non Sports Chat Room: 1. Reproductions measures quite a bit shorter side to side 2. Back reproductions all have the same shade of "tan" coloring; originals have different degree's of toning. 3. Black line on back (above "get a mickey mouse album") is much thinner 4. Front repro colors are much brighter/whiter as they have a glossy front
