Is my 1939 1939 40 O Pee Chee (V301 1) #42 a reprint?

Reprints exist for nearly every popular pre-1980 baseball card (including the 1939 1939 40 O Pee Chee (V301 1) Herb Cain). Originals show period-appropriate cardstock thickness, an offset-printing dot pattern visible under a 10× loupe, and back-design fidelity matching the era's printing process.
