I came upon a skull snaps and would like to hopefuly get some offical word on it being og (or not). The og art is a littel bit paler than the reish.(reish on the left) the og skulls have alot more detail in the illustrations of the skulls and the smaller skeletons are clearer.the spine is different too, different numbering at the bottom (or in this photo right side) reish is missing a few numbers..the thing that seems the most convincing as to its originality is the reissue is a solid piece of cardboard-cover w/ artr printed on both sides (front and back and gatefold all one cardboard), the og has one cardboard piece w/ the art for the front and back BUT the gatefold is a seperate piece of paper pasted on to the gatefold. You can see in the pic how the og art wraps from the back onto the gatefold side and the gatefold art is pasted over.. on the reish its just not so..if its og is it a us press? i googled for a runout etching number but i couldnt find one..peace.

    mine has a permanent circle imprinted on the front cover, but I think this was the later pressing... can anyone confirm this ?? ?

    The whole punch seems like a dead give away that it's a real one.

    Do the run-out markings (on the "OG") look etched or stamped?

    check to see if it is wack, if it is wack then you can be sure that it is an og. and although it is wack it is not as wack as the re-press.

    the lateral epicondile's posistion to the tibial tuberostiy on the gatefold pic suggests a mild varus deformity, whereas, I believe, the OG has more of a valgus alignment.

    the gsf looks stamped w/ the a-0101 looking etched.

    Hmmm... the run-out markings on my (og) copy are entirely stamped (GSF S-1011 A).

    As long as it has those stampings, the paste-on inner, a jacket made of brown cardboard, and that 1973 smell, then I think you're good.

    These posts belong on the Breaks forum. Even a paste-on brown cardboard jacket with that beautiful basement odeur will be questioned there wether or not it's a reissue. If you have been in the game for a while you just know.
