What's the difference between graded and raw 1940 1940 Play Ball #235?

Graded copies of the 1940 1940 Play Ball #235 are sealed in PSA, SGC, or BGS holders with an assigned condition grade on a 1–10 scale; raw copies are ungraded and the buyer assesses condition directly. Graded copies typically command a premium because the holder authenticates and grades the card in one step — but for raw cards, the upside is condition-judgment that beats the grader's eye.

Is my 1940 1940 Play Ball #235 a reprint?

Reprints exist for nearly every popular pre-1980 baseball card (including the 1940 1940 Play Ball John J. McGraw). 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. If the card has modern gloss, sharp uncreased corners on a card that should show 76+ years of age, or paper that feels too white and crisp, treat it as a reprint until verified by a professional grading service.
