Is my 1939 1939 Play Ball #15b a reprint?

Reprints exist for nearly every popular pre-1980 baseball card (including the 1939 1939 Play Ball Paul Derringer). 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.
