Is my 1949 1949 Small Red Border Karuta (JK 33) #I a reprint?

Reprints exist for nearly every popular pre-1980 baseball card (including the 1949 1949 Small Red Border Karuta (JK 33) Noboru Matsuba). 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.
