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

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